Oat milk heats to a naturally sweet, creamy drink that needs less help than most plant milks. Maple syrup and cinnamon do the rest, and a little vanilla ties them together. It is a dairy-free, caffeine-free alternative to the milky drinks you find at coffee shops, and it costs a fraction as much. Heat it gently and stir often, because oat milk can turn thick and slimy if boiled.
Instructions
- Whisk the cinnamon with 2 tablespoons of the oat milk in a small saucepan until it forms a paste. This stops the cinnamon from floating in clumps.
- Add the rest of the oat milk, the maple syrup and the salt. Heat over medium-low heat for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring often, until steaming. Do not let it boil.
- Take the pan off the heat, stir in the vanilla and whisk for 20 seconds, until the surface is foamy.
- Pour into two mugs and dust with extra cinnamon and a little nutmeg.
Tips
- Check the label if you need the drink to be gluten-free, because oat milk is not always made with gluten-free oats.
- Swap the maple syrup for date syrup or agave if you prefer. Use the same amount and adjust to taste.
Questions and answers
Why did my oat milk turn slimy?
Oat starches thicken and turn gluey when the milk boils or is heated for too long. Heat it just until steaming and stir often.
Can I use other plant milks?
Yes. Soy milk froths best, and almond and cashew milk work too. Use the same amount of maple syrup and adjust to taste.
Can I make oat milk steamer ahead?
You can keep a batch in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat it gently. Shake the jar well first, because oat milk separates.
