Unsweetened, Unflavored or Plain oat milk works great in both savory and sweet dishes!  I use it in baked goods in place of milk, and also in savory dishes in place of cream.  It has a very mild flavor and tastes great – perfect for cooking in savory recipes and using as a substitution for dairy milk.

This Unsweetened Oat Milk Recipe Is:

  • Creamy
  • Simple
  • Easy to make
  • Made with Pantry-Staple Ingredients
  • Earthy
  • Great in Sweet or Savory Recipes
  • Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free

If you are looking for a sweeter version, look no further! My Chocolate Oat Milk recipe is one of my most popular recipes on this site: it’s creamy and delicious, not too sweet!  If you are looking for an oat milk recipe that is unflavored and has a more natural taste this savory oat milk is perfect!

The Best Blender for the Job

I’ve owned a lot of blenders, but my Vitamix is definitely the best one I’ve owned. This high-speed blender will blend even the toughest of ingredients into pulp.  I prefer using my blender to my food processor for sauces like this or homemade hummus, as it’s much easier to clean the Vitamix. This is definitely one kitchen appliance we use on a daily basis!

    I tried Elmhurst brand to replace milk in my morning latte and loved it, except the cost. So I tried making this. It tastes great on it’s own but it makes my coffee watery. Wondering if I should double the oats? Also – do you or your readers use the leftover oats for anything? It feels wasteful to toss them! Wondering if I should try adding ingredients and dehydrating into a granola, if that’s even possible.

    Will be making this today as I have a recipe that calls for oat milk.
    So many of the ready made versions do not say if they are purity protocol oats. They also will not answer the question when asked. I personally do not recommend Bob’s as they now wash the oats of any wheat that may happen during harvest (the same process used by Cheerios). Sadly the process is not perfect and people are getting sick. I made a lovely blueberry crisp with Bob’s and got very sick. I recommend GF Harvest. Look them up online. They have a lovely story how this company started. Sorry to burst the balloon but us celiacs must stand up for what is right for us. Thanks.

      Hello Barb – I store the oat milk in an airtight container (I use a mason jar), and it should keep for up to 2 days. If it begins to seperate, just shake it before serving.
