Make Perfect Oat Milk Every Time
My secret to rich and creamy oat milk every time is using my Nutr machine. This machine can make single-servings of oat milk, nut milks, and coconut milk with just a few ingredients. It’s the perfect little appliance for a morning latte, salted hot chocolate, or quick almond milk for a recipe. I’ve made oat milk in my blender, using a normal nut milk bag, and let me tell you, the consistency of my Nutr machine is perfect every time.

- Quick Oats: I used quick oats for this recipe. I found that quick oats like these work much better than traditional old fashioned or rolled oats, as they break down better in this recipe and don’t get slimy/gummy like other homemade oat milks can get.
- Agave Syrup: I really like using this raw organic agave syrup because it’s a natural and sustainable sweetener, plus it is ridiculously inexpensive online so I always keep a few of these bottles in my pantry.
- Raw Cacao Powder: this raw unsweetened cacao powder is a a healthy and good-for-you addition to these brownies. Raw Cacao powder is loaded with antioxidants and has tons of healthy benefits. Make sure you use a raw cacao powder and not sweetened baking cocoa… it makes a huge difference.
- Vanilla Extract: it’s super important to use real pure vanilla extract, and not artificial baking vanilla flavor. This real all natural vanilla is a fantastic ingredient to give this drink an #extra boost.
- Pink Himalayan Sea Salt: I like to use a pink Himalayan Sea Salt in my kitchen, which has more natural minerals than plain processed table salt. It’s fairly inexpensive, so I’d recommend this salt if you’re looking for an easy way to level up your spice pantry.
- Water
