Oat Milk Creamer Vs Oat Milk
Oat milk creamer is thicker and denser than oat milk and has a richer flavor. The creamer is often made with a higher proportion of oats to water and additional ingredients like oil for a thicker consistency.
Oat milk, on the other hand, is thinner and has a milder flavor. It has higher water content and can be made with just oats and water.
How To Make Oat Milk Creamer
Oat milk creamer is made by blending all of the ingredients together in a high-speed blender just until the oats are creamy (about 30 seconds). Then the mixture is strained through a fine mesh to remove any oat bits. The oat creamer is then ready to use or stored in the refrigerator.
You can store any leftovers in an airtight jar or container, which will stay fresh for about five days. There will be some separation; this is normal. Just give it some good stir before using it!
