What Is Oat Milk Powder and How Is It Made?

Ah, oats. Who would have thought that one little grain would become all the rage? In fact, oat milk has soared in popularity so much in recent years that farmers are having trouble keeping up with the demand. 

With its slightly sweet, nutty flavour, oat milk is many people’s go-to option over traditional dairy milk. And now, there's an even more convenient way to enjoy it: powdered oat milk. You get all the creamy goodness of oat milk in a shelf-stable, easy-to-use powder. Whether you’re whipping up smoothies, crafting a coffee drink, or baking sweet treats, powdered oat milk is the perfect complement to a variety of foods and drinks. But what is oat milk powder, and how is it made? This article will answer your questions—and leave you craving Oatworthy’s Original Instant Oat Powder, a leader in this exciting product category.

 

What Is Oat Milk Powder?

Also known as oatmeal milk powder, powdered oat milk is essentially oat milk’s more versatile sibling. Unlike liquid oat milk, which takes up fridge space and expires more quickly, oat milk powder can sit in your pantry, lunch bag, backpack, or suitcase. It’s also lightweight and portable—ready for adventures whenever you are. Plus, oat milk powder is plant-based and vegan, great for anyone avoiding dairy milk. Simply put, it’s oat milk, only smarter.

 

The Making of Oat Milk Powder

You might think you can simply grind oats into a powder to make oat milk powder. However, the process is more complex than that. Here’s how it’s done:

• Blending: Oats are blended with water into a liquid base.
• Breaking down the starch: Natural enzymes are added to break down the starches into simpler sugars. This step prevents the thick, gloopy texture you’d get if you used ground oats alone.
• Drying: The liquid oat milk is dehydrated to remove water. The end result is a fine powder that dissolves in water anytime you need milk.

The dehydrating process requires special equipment, so making oat milk powder at home isn’t feasible for most people. But thanks to Oatworthy, you don’t have to! Our oat milk powder delivers a smooth, tasty experience without the effort or mess.

 

How to Use Oat Milk Powder

Did you know that oat milk powder isn’t just for mixing into water? Here are some popular ways to use it in the kitchen:

• Coffee drinks: Froth up oat milk powder in coffee for creamy lattes that rival those made by your favourite barista.
• Smoothies: Add a scoop of oat milk powder to blended drinks for a hint of oat-y goodness in every sip.
• Baking: Swap it into recipes in place of milk powder to make muffins, pudding, pancakes, or even bread.
• Cooking: Use it to add silkiness or richness to soups or sauces.

With so many uses, Oatworthy’s Original Instant Oat Powder is likely to become a pantry staple.
