Ingredients

  • 1 cup quick-cooking oats

  • water to cover

  • 3 cups water

  • 2 small dates, pitted

Directions

  1. Soak oats in enough cool water to cover them. Cover and set aside for 30 minutes.

  2. Drain the oats using a mesh colander. Combine oats, 3 cups water, and dates in a large bowl. Allow to sit undisturbed until skin on the dates softens, 10 to 15 minutes.

  3. Transfer oat mixture to a blender. Pulse the mixture a few times and then leave on medium-high speed until completely smooth, about 1 minute. Drain oat milk through a nut bag or cheesecloth to remove all solids. Serve cold or warm.

Cook's Notes:

This can be used for cooking or baking. However, omit the dates if preparing a savory dish.

If using rolled oats, the initial soaking time in step 1 should be overnight. Discard the water and follow the instructions from step 2 onwards.
