What’s In This Oat Milk Mac and Cheese Recipe?

See the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!

• Oat Milk: which you can make yourself with some water and old fashioned oats, or use store-bought. If you don’t want to make oat milk yourself, unsweetened oat milk has the perfect texture for this mac!
• Macaroni Noodles
• Olive Oil
• Mustard Powder: for a wonderful sharp flavor, I like this mustard powder best!
• Salt: We like to use pink Himalayan sea salt.
• Black Pepper: like salt, I only use really good pepper corns, I like tellicherry pepper corns because they have a fresh spicy taste when they are ground.  There are a lot of varieties but I like tellicherry peppercorns best.
• Cheddar or Melty Cheese: You can use cheddar, shredded cheese blends, or even creamy Velveeta for this recipe, or another melty cheese alternative.  You can use a plant-based cheese for a vegan substitute as well.
• Parmesan Cheese: for a bright and sharp finish on this mac!  I love adding this parmesan cheese to my mac and cheese recipes to give it that little extra kick of flavor.

Dietary Modifications

• To make this recipe gluten free, Make sure the oats you are using are certified gluten free. While oats are naturally gluten free, there can be cross-contamination during processing, so always make sure your oats have the Certified GF stamp on the packaging if you must avoid wheat.

Make This Mac and Cheese with Store-Bought or Homemade Oat Milk!

You can absolutely use an unsweetened store-bought oat milk, or you can easily make it yourself.  All you need is oats, water, a strainer, and a blender.  My unsweetened oat milk recipe is here if you want to try it yourself.  Or you can get oat milk at the store or this delicious version online here.  Either way, ooey gooey delicious oat milk mac and cheese is coming your way.
