Recipe Review: Cashew Coconut Oat Milk

Nov 2

By Minimalist Baker

Overview

This recipe was introduced to me in my beverages class, and I was surprised how close it tasted to the Oatly low fat oat milk. The flavor was simple but surprisingly good. This recipe and its easy process make it great for those looking for a healthier alternative to milk

Recipe

Ingredients

Raw cashews
Unsweetened coconut flakes
Rolled oats
Medjool dates
Sea salt
Water

Additions

I used Coconut Syrup to draw out a sweeter coconut taste
I added Ferrara instant expresso coffee to a cup of milk

What I Liked

The process of making the recipe was simple
The ingredients were easily accessible
Since this is a blended mixture/drink, you can adjust it to your liking

What I would Improve

I would recommend making a double batch as this recipe makes 7 servings
If you want to make this recipe sweeter add another medjool date or honey
Strain the mixture at least twice so that you can get all the grainy bits out

Final Thoughts

Overall, I thought this recipe was very cool. I liked how the recipe is set up originally to taste like the Oatly low fat oat milk. Although most of the prep time was based on waiting for the cashews to soak, it was a quick and fun recipe. I recommend trying this recipe if you want to try something new.
