Vanilla Oat Milk Recipe

Out of milk? Don’t worry… it’s actually really EASY to make your own dairy-free milk at home! Not only is this Vanilla Oat Milk Recipe so fast and frugal to make, it’s absolutely delicious!

So no more wondering how to make oat milk… you’re about to become a pro! Whether you’re lactose-intolerant, want a vegan oat milk, or just want a thrifty alternative to the dairy-free milks at the store… this is IT!

Purchasing oat milk 1/2 gallons can run around $4 – $5 each at the stores near me. Ouch! I love oat milk, but not for that price. So I was determined to learn how to make it myself, and guess what… if you buy your ingredients in bulk you’ll be making it for around 50c – 75c per half gallon! Now that’s some serious savings!

Plus… you’ll just need 4 ingredients and some water! Talk about simple! So let’s do this! Here’s how to make vanilla oat milk at home…

    You are blowing my mind right now, Heidi! I can’t believe how easy this is to make. You are right, it’s always expensive in the store and sometimes we have a hard time getting it anyway so this solution is such a timely one. Thanks so much! Hope your week has been a good one, CoCo

    Would this work with gluten free oats?? I guess I don’t see why not, but I wasn’t sure if you’ve tried it? Thanks!

        Ok will do! Gluten free old fashioned oats seem more available in my area right now and I was planning on buying some oat milk today, so I’m glad I saw this post! I’ll keep you updated!
