Oat Milk Creamer Recipe With Enzymes (NEW and Improved!)

rolled oats (certified gluten-free, if needed)

water

sea salt

vanilla extract (or clear imitation vanilla)

raw cashews (or 2½ Tbsp flavorless oil)

sunflower lecithin, optional (emulsifier)

Blend

Put the rolled oats in a blender. Blend for about 5 seconds or until they&#39;re the consistency of coarse flour. Pour oat flour into a large bowl.

Enzymes

Open one digestive enzyme capsule and dump the powder into the bowl (discard the capsule).

Heat

Heat the water to approximately 150 degrees F (66 C). I like to microwave it in a large bowl. At this temp it will feel very hot but won&#39;t immediately scald you.

Soak

Pour the hot water into the bowl with the oat flour and enzymes, and stir well. For reference, use a spoon to taste the oat water (it will be very bland). Set aside for 30-45 minutes. I like to stir occasionally during this time. After 30 minutes, taste the water again. It should now taste slightly sweet. If it doesn&#39;t, either the enzymes used aren&#39;t effective or the water wasn&#39;t the correct temperature. If you think the water was too cool, microwave the bowl for about 30 seconds to raise the temperature, and check again in 15 minutes.

Rinse out the blender to remove any oat flour remnants, and pour the oat-water mixture into the blender. Starting on low, quickly increase to high speed, and blend for about 10 seconds. You don&#39;t need to blend long since the oats were already broken down to flour. If not using a Vitamix or other high-speed blender, you may need to blend in two batches due to the large volume.

Strain

Use a nut milk bag to strain the oat milk into a large heavy-bottom pot or saucepan. I like to place one nut milk bag inside another, for a double layer. Or you can strain it twice using the same bag (rinse in between uses). Since the starch has been broken down into sugars, it&#39;s fine to squeeze the bag. However, if you notice that it feels slimy, this means the enzymes did not work. Review the tips in the Notes section below before proceeding.Save the oat pulp for baking or add it to smoothies.

Soak, blend &amp; strain:

Simmer

Over medium heat and whisking frequently, slowly bring the oatmilk creamer to a simmer. Aim for 195 degrees F. If you don&#39;t own a thermometer, look for these visual clues: tiny bubbles around the edges and slight movement in the center, like it&#39;s just about to reach a full simmer. Whisking, maintain this low simmer for another 20 seconds or so, then remove from heat. Whisk in the salt and vanilla.

Simmer:

Let cool for about 20 minutes or until barely warm (so it&#39;s safe to put in the blender). Rinse out the blender jar, and return the creamer to the blender. For the cashew option, add them to the blender, and blend on high until completely smooth. Don&#39;t worry about over-blending! It&#39;s better to blend too much than too little in this case.For the oil option, while blending on high, remove the cap from the pour spout and slowly drizzle in the oil. Add the sunflower lecithin and blend for a few more seconds.

Chill

Pour into a clean jar and place in the refrigerator uncovered. Once cool, cover the jar. Keep refrigerated and use within 5 to 6 days.

Add fat for richness:

I'm noticing a slight bitterness after adding the enzymes. I used the NOW brand as I do not live near a Whole Foods. Wondering if others have noticed the same and/or if there is a way to counter

I've made oat mylk in the past without enzymes (currently trying this recipe) and the trick for reducing slime has been using cold water/ice cubes when blending in my vitamix. Making it into a flour first also reduces the heat which can make it slimy. I never used a nut mylk bag on it when made this uncooked way either and just shook the oat milk around first before using as it tends to separate.

Thanks. I don't have a microwave so I'll have to warm on the stove if I don't get it right. I'm trying the recipe now...in the soaking stage!

Lori, Hope I'm not bugging you too much! 
Both enzymes can be purchased  in "high temp" liquid form from websites specializing in brewing/distilling. Any thoughts?? I forgot to say International Delight brand creamer uses carrageenan.
Thank you for help &amp; what looks like a promising recipe!

I want stop using the "International Delight" creamer but finding it difficult to replicate the silky texture &amp; thickness. Even other commercial creamers are thinner. Does this turn out relatively thick &amp; creamy? I'm wondering about the texture of  your recipe before I invest in enzymes😁.  All other creamers do make my coffee sweet but sort of water it down.

I just tried your recipe. It looked promising after trying ones without the enzyme, which makes sense and tastes comparable to the store bought oat creamer I usually buy. I used Organic Old Fashioned Rolled Oats and was amazed how the enzyme broke down the oats. 

I used a small pot to heat up the oats with water and shut it off once the 150 degree temperature was reached, and whisked the mixture while it was heating up. A thermometer was also used when bringing the mixture to the 195 degree simmer.

Excellent recipe. This will make a big difference in my food budget. Thank you!
