I read that raw apple has the same enzyme in it, so I used grated raw apple in my oat milk and it did alter the oats quite a lot, it was thicker and sweeter even after straining out the grated apple.
This is so helpful. Thank you! I used 8 drops of (Trader Joe's) Stevia because I'm sugar sensitive and it was great. I also added 1/4 tsp of salt. I thought it might be too sweet or salty but it was perfect.
I'm so glad I stumbled on your channel! My sister in law was asking for a way to make Oatly since it is so expensive. I found the information about adding amylase and told her it might be too fussy to bother with. But this is fantastic! I'm excited to pass this along to her!
You mentioned that Nutr will be one you try in the future. I have a Nutr and LOVE it! I like that it only makes a small amount, because that works best for me, but understand it's not for everyone. I love my Nutr so much, that I actually packed it in my carry-on bag when I traveled for a week. :) Thanks to you and this video, I will make oat milk with cashews and dates, as you described. Thank you!
Thanks for the video. How did this turn out after a few days, did it still get slimy? And do you know if the oat milk can be heated to make a hot chocolate drink?
Thanks for sharing, that looks great, how long did it last? I eat oil so it's not an issue for me but I was wondering if a few cashews would do the trick for an oil free version. x
I'm posting a vide this week with cashews, and it worked well too. With the oil, it lasted past the normal 3 days for oat. I think we used it in 5 days.
That's really cool, and fascinating to learn about how they make Oatly, too :) thank you for sharing, and for keeping us updated and exploring further :D
Hi Kathy, I have the SoyaJoy 5 (not Soyabella) and I don’t think I have a cold brew. I can’t find anything on line. I’m thinking I have to use my Vitamix.
Hi Kathy! Thanks for this video! I have followed the oat milk recipe Exactly as WRITTEN in the included Mio Mat recipe book and it says to use the “Raw milk or cereal” setting and it was a slimy mess. Then I saw the actual Mio mat oat milk video and they said to use the “smoothie” setting. 😡I was super annoyed as I wasted an entire cup of oats and it tasted super gross. I can’t wait to follow your recipe
In Asian countries, they do cook oats for oat milk on a cereal setting but they are not expecting the same texture as we are. I think you will love the smoothie setting though!
Kathy, I know this is about oat milk…thank you. I do have a question about making soy milk at home. Do you think you will do that at some future time? Thanks kindly, Sandy from Alberta, Canada.
all of these appliances are so big.... knowing how these cycles work on the machines, can we translate that to the Vitamix too, by cyling? No oils here though.
I think you can translate the cold settings to vitamix. One of the things about oat milk is that you don't want to heat it. So I think if you blend 20 - 25 seconds, wait and repeat, you could make it less slimy. Also, some people blend with ice cubes!
Honestly, I was surprised to see that you still need to sieve the liquid. I assumed the whole point of a milk maker was to remove all the labor and just produce a final product with one touch of the button. What do you gain by using the Miomat over a blender?
There are lots of kinds of milk makers and the one for you depends on what's most important to you, or the kind of milk you want to make. If you want no straining look at te Almond Cow if you aren't interested in making soy milk or recipes that use heat, or the Soybella for filtered with heat. If you are making cashew or pecan milk no straining is needed. You always have to strain oat milk - either with an internal strainer like Almond Cow or a fine mesh stainer or nut milk bag.
Have you ever tried making oatmilk in the Nama 2 juicer? I tried it once with 1 cup of oats to 4 cups of water and the oat-milk tasted just like water....so not very good. I am wondering if there is a way of adding extra steps to make that taste better? So this Emylase Enzyme is in the Maple Syrup as well?
The enzyme is not in the maple syrup, but it's added in the video to mimic the sweetness the enyzme adds to Oatly. I have never made milk in a juicer, so I'm not sure what you can do different in it, but I suspect it discarded the oats rather than blending them into the milk.
@@KathyHesterVeganRecipeswhen did you add the enzyme? I didn’t see it in the video and can you skip the maple syrup for unsweetened ( I know you mentioned that the enzyme creates some of the sweetness)
Tips! 🌟 Why (especally soy milk) curdles is because of the low pH in coffee (sour). If you mix water and some bicarbonate soda (high pH) in a bottle with a pipette you can add that to your coffee (or direktly the the milk? Haven’t tried it yet!) and no curdle! You’ll notice what amount you’ll need. I saw it in a video on youtube, just search for ”bicarb soda and soy milk” and I think you’ll find it.
Hey Kathy 😊 amylase is an enzyme our liver produces, and is also present in our saliva whos main job is to break down starch and turn it into sugars that our body can utilize. Some plants and bacteria also produce amylase. So that makes sense that by adding amylase that it adds sugar to the milk in the conversion process. When I went vegan my blood work showed very high amylase levels and my doctor was worried. I let him know I’d gone vegan and he said oh, makes sense…let’s monitor you every 6 months for the next year to see if it levels off. And it did, back to normal. But because my body was getting all this extra starch in it was pumping out the amylase to keep up. Probably more than you wanted to know hahaha
I want to add a little bit of information about the misterious enzyme being said here: I sadly don't know the exact enzyme used but in general, it seems to be a fermentation process that converts the starch (the stuff that makes the bèchamel-sauce stiff and your oat milk slimey if heated) into sugar, like we would do in our stomaches and mouths (that's why bread tastes sweet after a few minutes of chewing. 😉). They then probably heat it up to kill off any bacteria and fungi to make it last a while and then sell it. The reason on why starch is so important to get away is that it kind of acts like glue for the water molecules, as soon as it get's heaten up. And because it binds water with water, it makes the water stiff. And if there is more water than the starch can bind, it just turns into a slimey paste because it partially binds then. And since starch is basically a pre-sugar that needs to be broken down to be final sugar, there is just something needed to break it down and fermentation just does that. And since the broken-down sugar from the starch looses the ability to bind water molecules under heat, it does not turn your oat milk into a pastey slimey thing basically, if you heat it up. And Oat has A LOT of starch. Just as a disclaimer: I am NOT a product developer who basically deals with making industrial oat-milk for example. What I wrote here is the knowledge of the top of my head from what I know of my research of that topic. If there is a product developer who knows further information or can correct me, please comment! ^^
Do you have an oat milk recipe that works in one of the other milk makers that has a strainer? I make oat milk every day but I’m sick of the straining step and this machine seems to require that step?
I tried making oat milk with coconut oil, but did not like it much. I used virgin coconut oil and maple syrup. Next time I will soak oats, add a cup of ice cubes and run a smoothie program.
I'm glad to see you doing a video on making oatmeal on the smoothie setting I have the Evo brand milk nut machine and you don't know how many times I was making oat milk on the oat setting that was heating and then it was like "ding "ding try making it on the smoothie setting and that's when it hit me that you need to used the smooth setting which came out perfect.

does the cocnut oil harded when the milk is refrigerated?
I did not find that it did, it seemed to incorporated and slightly emulsify during the milk making process.

I do use in my coffee, but I drink cold brew iced. I also use it in hot tea and hot cocoa.
@@KathyHesterVeganRecipes thx for the info!
I use it in my hot & iced coffee. I also use it in hot cocoa, hot cereal such as oatmeal, also in cold cereal at times.

Isn't all oatmeal gluten-free?
No, it gets cross contaiminated with other grains that have gluten. People with celiac disease must buy those labeled gluten-free.
