In reply to Amy. Have you tried different oat brands?

I’ve had the same experience, trying multiple oat milk recipes using my vitamix and, no matter what I try, it still ends up slimy. Think I’ve made 5 batches to date – tried soaking the oats and not soaking the oats; used very cold water and only blended in the vitamix for 30 seconds to ensure the milk doesn’t get hot; strained through a nut bag twice. I’ve noticed immediately after making the milk I can drink it without as much slim, then it sits in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or longer and turns slimy. Even after shaking it up, still slimy. I’m going to buy some rolled oats vs. quick oats to see if that helps, and also try the amylase, but I’m definitely getting discouraged. I really want it to work since it would save me a lot of money each month. Any suggestions on how to use the amylase would be appreciated.

In reply to Johnna Kolemba. Hi Johnna, It will separate over time, so give it a stir before serving. Oat milk will keep well in the fridge, covered, for up to 5 days.

In reply to Jane Camero. I'm sorry to hear you didn't love this recipe. Did you rinse the oats after soaking?

I have been trying different oat milk recipes and so I tried this one. I must say that this was by far the slimiest so far. Others said not to soak the oats or to process them nearly as long as this recipe. I think they were right. This was not quite as bad as the “slime” that kids make to play with but it was that close. If I did something wrong I don’t know what it was. I had to strain it through a nut bag because the dates left pretty large chunks in the milk. I have a high speed blender (Vitamix) so maybe I should have soaked those dates a while too. Sorry but this one was a bust.

You can use the left over pulp for bliss balls! Just add dates, cocao powder and some maple syrup. Blend it back up and roll into balls. Pop into refrigerator for 30mins and you’ve got some healthy delicious bliss balls to devour!

In reply to Annette Henry. Hi Annette, I find it thickens as it warms. You could try it, but I haven't loved the results in the past. Let me know if you do and how it works for you!

Hi,
As we speak I’m baking the blueberry oatmeal bake. Made half batch for me, live alone. Question: you mentioned it doesn’t heat well., but what about baking. My dad’s going thru radiation to his bladder & may need to cut out his Lactaid brand milk. So wondered if he liked the oatmeal bake minus fruit, if I could try oat milk? I personally thought almond milk was horrifying & I’m soy intolerant so almond milk is as far as I got. I’m ok with goat milk (certain brand), go figure.
