1. Ingredients for homemade oat milk
Making your own oat milk requires only two ingredients. That's its beauty — and what makes it infinitely healthier than store-bought cartons.
🌾 Basic Recipe — Homemade Oat Milk (1 liter)
Ingredients
- 80 g of rolled oats (≈ 8 tbsp)
- 1 liter of filtered water
- 1 pinch of fine salt (optional)
- 1 tsp maple syrup (optional)
For the recipe
- Preparation time: 2 min
- Cost: ~€0.30 / liter
- Storage: 4 to 5 days in the fridge
- Yield: 1 liter
Which type of oats to choose?
Use fine or medium rolled oats. Avoid "instant" pre-cooked oats: they result in milk that is too gelatinous and sweet.
Tip: Buy your rolled oats in bulk. At €1/kg, one liter of oat milk costs you only €0.08 in raw materials.
2. The step-by-step recipe
With the Luxibre plant-based milk maker, preparation takes just 4 steps and literally 2 minutes.
3. Our tips for perfect oat milk
🌡️ Use cold or room temperature water
Hot water gelatinizes the starch in oats. Always use cold or room temperature water for a smooth result.
🧂 Salt: the professional's secret
A simple pinch of fine salt reduces the natural bitterness of oats and brings out their sweetness.
🍂 Customize your oat milk
Vanilla: ½ tsp vanilla extract
Chocolate: 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa
Spiced: a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg
Sweet: 1 tsp maple syrup
For coffee: Homemade oat milk foams very well. Heat it slightly and blend for 30 seconds — impressive results.
4. How to store your homemade oat milk
Without preservatives, homemade oat milk keeps for 4 to 5 days in the refrigerator, in an airtight container. The Luxibre 1L storage carton is the ideal accessory.
⚠️ Normal: your homemade oat milk will slightly separate when left to rest. Just shake it before consuming.
