Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats or steel-cut oats
- 4 cups filtered water
- 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup optional, for sweetness
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional, for extra flavor
- A pinch of sea salt optional, to balance flavors
Instructions
- Soak the Oats: Start by soaking your oats in water for at least 2 hours, or overnight if you prefer. This softens them and makes them easier to blend, ensuring a creamy texture.
- Blend the Oats: Drain and rinse the soaked oats, then place them in a blender. Add 4 cups of filtered water and blend on high for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
- Strain the Mixture: Pour the blended oat mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, nut milk bag, or cheesecloth to remove any oat pulp. This ensures your creamer is smooth and silky.
- Sweeten and Flavor (Optional): If you like your creamer a little sweeter, add 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup or your favorite sweetener. A teaspoon of vanilla extract can also be added for extra flavor, along with a pinch of sea salt to enhance the oats’ natural sweetness.
- Store and Enjoy: Pour your fresh oatmilk creamer into an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 5 days. Shake well before each use, as the creamer may naturally separate.
