Ingredients

½ cup oats soaked in boiling hot water for 5 minutes or soaked overnight (40 grams)*
2 tablespoon coconut oil 14 grams, or other neutral oil such as avocado oil (so it doesn't solidify) - be sure to use a refined coconut oil to avoid coconut flavour
1 cup cold filtered water 240 grams
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 4 grams
1 teaspoon maple syrup or more if you want a sweeter coffee creamer (5 grams)

Optional Flavor Mix-Ins:

Cinnamon: 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon 1 gram
Chocolate mint: 2 tablespoons cocoa powder 15 grams + 1 Teaspoon Mint Extract (3 grams)
Pumpkin spice: 1⁄2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice 1 gram
Apple pie: 1⁄2 teaspoon apple pie spice 1 gram

Instructions

Drain and rinse the oats and add them to a blender along with all other ingredients. Blend until smooth.
Drain the contents of the blender through a fine mesh strainer to remove any large oat pieces and save all strained liquid.
Add any 1 flavor mix-in ingredient or ingredient combination and blend (optional step). Taste the oat milk creamer and add any additional water (1 tablespoon at a time) if preferred for your desired consistency and blend. Store leftover oat milk creamer in a food safe airtight bottle or jar and keep refrigerated for up to 5 days.

Notes

The coconut oil will solidify when stored in the fridge. You can bring it to room temperature before using or spoon it into a hot/warm beverage. Be sure to use a refined coconut oil to avoid the coconut flavour.
Oats: You can use old fashioned oats or quick oats for this recipe.
To store: Oat milk creamer will keep for up to 5 days in a food-safe airtight bottle or jar in the refrigerator. Be sure to shake or stir before each use as separation may occur over time.
To freeze: You can freeze this oat milk creamer to extend its shelf life. Be sure to store it in freezer-safe containers and use within one month for optimum quality. Thaw the creamer overnight in the refrigerator before using.
