Anyone experimented with making their own oat milk?
Oatly sets the standard for me but my consumption of the stuff is costing me a pretty penny.
I looked up their manufacturing process and there’s an enzyme stage where the oat starch is broken down into maltose which is what makes it naturally sweet.
CBA with experimenting with amylase, temperatures and soaking times so I’ve used malt extract to add sweetness instead. This is where I’m at so far:
1700g water
100g oats
2 tsp rapeseed oil
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbs barley malt extract
1 pinch xanthan gum
I soak all of this in a tub overnight and then give it 3 minutes in the Vitamix on the full gas setting. It needs a couple of hours to settle.
It tastes pretty good. I could strain off the sediment but it doesn’t bother me as you don’t notice it (other than visually) even when using the milk in coffee or tea. The xanthan gum is optional, it stops the milk splitting completely when it’s kept in the fridge.
