Can you use oat milk in gluten free cooking? Which flour combination would be best for a cake?
July 9, 2021 10:24 am
Oat milk would be a great replacement in gluten free cooking. As for gluten free cakes, we have not done much testing on different flour options. We do suggest starting with the I’m Free perfect Flour as a base for your testing.

Nice video! Oats are a good source of soluble fiber. There was no mention of whether straining out the solids affects the level of fiber in the final product. I’m always looking for sources for adding fiber to the diet, so it would be nice to know if fiber is part of the thickening process in this oat milk. Thanks!

Since you are straining out some of the solids, some of the fiber will be lost in the final product, however some of fiber will remain in the final product. Unfortunately we do not have the ability to accurately measure what remains.

Hi,
How long is the milk simmered?
Thanks
July 9, 2021 10:31 am
The mixture does not need to come up to a rolling boil, a light simmer will work the best. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes or has reached your desired thickness.

How could you use this oat milk in making an ice cream? Which percentage would you use?
July 9, 2021 10:33 am
We have not tested it ourselves but we believe this oat milk would work great in an ice cream. We suggest using it with Perfect Ice Cream because the oat milk has a high water content and may be prone to crystalize.

Most commercial oat milks are made with similar methods. 🙂
I’m a huge fan of what you do. Thanks for posting!

My sister really likes Panna Cotta, but her doctor ha taken her off of dairy, So I think an Oat Milk Pana Cotta might be interesting.

We have a great panna cotta recipe that uses non-dairy milks, such as oat milk! Here’s the link:

Would this (amylase) work well with soy milk? I make my own, but after a day or two, there’s a residue that collects on the bottom.
August 13, 2021 9:31 pm
It would not. Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down a starch called amylose which is mainly found in grains.

Can you use Amylase in making almond milk?
August 13, 2021 9:33 pm
As far as I’m aware, it would not. Amylase breaks down a starch called amylose, which is mainly found in grains.
August 16, 2021 4:04 pm
this is correct! Amylase only breaks down amylose, which is not found in almonds.

Would partially grinding the oats before putting them in the water and amylase create a better starch conversion? Then blend it again after it sits?
November 1, 2021 10:21 am
It could, but the Amylase still only consumes so much starch per hour. You could get more contact with the starch if you blend first but it’s not 100% necessary as it would still require the full time to insure it all gets fully broken down
