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, this unsweetened oat milk has the perfect texture for this mac!
- Macaroni Noodles: to make this gluten free, these awesome GF macaroni pasta noodles work perfect in this recipe. If you aren’t gluten free, then you can use normal macaroni, whole wheat, or a veggie pasta.
- Olive Oil
- Mustard Powder: for a wonderful sharp flavor, I like this mustard powder best!
- Salt: We like to use pink Himalayan sea salt.
- Pepper: like salt, I only use really good pepper corns, I like these tellicherry pepper corns because they have a fresh spicy taste when they are ground. There are a lot of varieties but I like these tellicherry peppercorns best for the value.
- 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.
