• An update--I thought I had done the trick with the Ninja (see below) but, no. The next morning I took out my oat milk to add to my coffee and found it had separated. I shook it well, but the result was a bit thick and sludgy with a slimy mouthfeel in my latte. Back to the drawing board. I didn't down rate this recipe because I think it is probably my equipment at issue.

• This may help those who didn't care for this but who really like oat milk. I don't have a Vitamix, so I desperately tried this in a regular blender--terrible. My brilliant husband reminded me that we have a Ninja, rarely used in the back of the cupboard. I made a half recipe in two batches--great! The a tiny pinch of salt and a dab of honey add a lot of depth, so don't leave them out! It's not messy to make at all and quite easy. I use oat milk in my coffee every morning and am hoping this will reduce my plastic waste.

• Holy Cow! I made this oat milk as a substitute for milk for a birthday cake I was making for a lactose intolerant child. After blending the soaked oats and clean water I put it through a fine sieve. The very fine “silt” that was left (about 2/3 cup) I put in the microwave with about a quarter cup of the oat milk and a tablespoon of maple syrup. I heated for a minute on high, stirred in a bit more oat milk and I had Maypo! You have to be a certain age to remember that instant oatmeal cereal from the 50’s and 60’s, but as soon as I tasted it, I was sure. So was my husband. The texture and flavour were instantly identifiable.

• before making this I had never tried oatmilk I was more of an almond gal but this recipe UGHH SO GOOD! I added some cinnamon and a bit more maple syrup because I planned to put it in my coffee, definitely a better (creamyyy) consistency than almond.

• This turned out creamy for me. My guess is you need a powerful blender (Vitamix, Ninja, etc.) and that poor review was due to that.

• I used Bob's Red Mill extra thick rolled oats, soaked for a full hour, rinsed once, blended for 2 minutes, and strained all as directed. It turned out well. Nice oat flavor and a pleasant thickness and creaminess.
