Why You’ll Love My Recipe

This homemade Oat Milk Creamer is everything you’re looking for in a morning creamer and made with 4-simple ingredients: water, old fashioned oats, cashews, and a bit of coconut oil for that silky smooth, velvety, luxurious mouthfeel!

You’ll love my recipe because  I’ll teach you my simple trick to make a homemade oat milk creamer that is NOT SLIMY! I originally mastered this technique when developing my regular Homemade Oat Milk recipe and used it to make this thicker, ultra creamy coffee creamer.

The results? Let’s just say I haven’t gone back to store-bought creamers since I crated this perfect recipe! So, if you’re ready to learn how to make an ultra smooth coffee creamer perfect for Iced Coffee, Matcha Lattes, or drizzling over a bowl of quinoa porridge, let’s get into it!

This Oat Milk Creamer is….

  • Vegan
  • Gluten-free 
  • Simple to make
  • Lightly sweetened
  • Versatile
  • Easy to customize
all of the ingredients requited to make this vegan oat milk creamer

Ingredient Notes

  • Cashews: Raw cashews adds extra creaminess and a thicker consistency to the creamer.  Make sure to use raw, unflavoured cashews. During my recipe testing I tried with roasted cashews and it didn’t have as nice a taste or finish.
  • Old-fashioned oats: The best type of oats to use in this recipe are old-fashioned oats. The key to making oat milk that is not slimy is blending for a short period of time. If you were to use steel-cut oats or oat groats, the mixture would need to be blended for longer and risks heating up. I also tried recipe testing with quick oats and the result was slightly slimy.  
  • Cold water: To keep the milk mixture as cool as possible, make sure to use COLD water. The colder the creamer after blending, and the less of a chance it becomes slimy! 
  • Coconut oil: Adds silky texture to the creamer. It also helps to emusify the mixture, ensuring it blends completely smooth texture. If you don’t mind a hint of coconut, use unrefined coconut oil. Otherwise, refined coconut oil or another neutral oil of choice like avocado oil is best!

​Optional Add-ins

I typically like to keep the flavour of my creamer fairly neutral so I can use it in an array of my favourite beverages and vegan breakfast recipes. However, there are a few additions you can make to customize the taste. 

  • Vanilla extract: ​Add up to 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste to make a vanilla oat milk creamer.
  • Cinnamon: A dash of cinnamon adds warmth. Great for making a Vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte or Gingerbread Latte during the fall. 
  • Cocoa powder: ​Add up to 1 tablespoon for a chocolate-flavoured creamer. 
  • Peppermint extract: ​Adds a refreshing minty flavour, great for a festive holiday touch. Just make sure to use an edible extract! 
  • Turmeric and ginger: Great for a Golden Milk-inspired creamer. Add a small pinch of each!

Ways to Use

While adding to your morning coffee, tea, or hot chocolate is the most customary way to enjoy a homemade oat milk creamer recipe, the uses don’t stop there! This vegan coffee creamer can also be used in any sweet breakfast or vegan dessert recipe that calls for a creamy non-dairy milk. 

Think creamy oatmeal, chia pudding, pancakes, waffles, acai bowls, cinnamon rolls, overnight oats, and more!

You can even use it as a replacement for rich coconut milk in savoury dishes (just omit the agave!). Give it a try in my Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Soup recipe or this Creamy Vegan Mushroom Pasta. It’s rich creaminess makes it the perfect 1:1 swap!

Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Serves 2 cups

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup cashews
  • 3/4 cup oats
  • 2 cups cold water
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil (or other neutral oil)
  • 1 tbsp agave
  • Pinch sea salt

Instructions

  • Soak the cashews in boiling water for 10 minutes. Strain and set aside.
  • In a high-speed blender add the oats, cashews, cold water, coconut oil, agave and pinch of sea salt. Blend on high for 20 seconds (35 seconds for a standard blender). Be sure not to overblend as the oat creamer can get slimy when heated.
  • Transfer the oat cream mixture to a nut milk bag over a large mixing bowl (you can also a thin kitchen towel or cheese cloth). Squeeze the bag to strain the milk from the pulp.
  • Pour the freshly squeezed oat creamer from your bowl back into your blender (this allows for easy transfer into a bottle). Transfer the creamer into an air tight bottle and store in the fridge. Use the oat creamer in coffee, tea or as desired.

Notes

Recipe will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. It’s normal for the milk to separate when chilled in fridge and standing for some time. Simply give it a good shake to recombine.
