What it is

Oat milk is a plant-based beverage made from oats and water. The oats are typically soaked, blended with water, and then strained to create a milky liquid. It is often fortified with vitamins and minerals.

Why it's used

Oat milk is used as a dairy-free alternative to cow's milk in beverages, cereals, and baked goods. Manufacturers add it for its mild, slightly sweet flavor and creamy texture, which can also help to emulsify ingredients in recipes.

Health notes

Oat milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of carbohydrates and may be fortified with calcium and vitamin D. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated oat-based ingredients. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming oat milk at typical dietary levels.

Allergen info

Oat milk is not derived from one of the nine FDA major allergens. Oats are naturally gluten-free, but cross-contamination with wheat, barley, or rye during processing can occur, so certified gluten-free oat milk is available for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
