The Oat Milk Cookbook is a perfect jumpstart into the fascinating world of oat milk: from the coffeehouse to the making of savory filling dinners, Kim Lutz walks you through how to master the use of oat milk in your kitchen. I will also be sharing her recipe on how to make Whole-Grain Oat Milk Bread so you can have a taste of how easy and delicious it is to cook with oat milk.

There is a Whole-Grain Oat Milk Bread with a few slices cut out of the bread displayed on a wooden cutting board. Also on the side, there is a strawberry jam in a small jar with a small wooden spoon dipped inside. In the background, you can see The Oat Milk Cookbook, where the recipe originate.

Oat milk is taking over the non dairy milk shelves at the grocery store and for a good reason: not only is this milk delicious, but also very versatile in a whole food plant based kitchen. Its ideal texture and flavor profile for usage in vegan baking and smoothies makes it even more valuable.

Oat milk is also amazing when looking for nut free options. Now that we have our oldest in pre-school, my head was spinning around when I realized it was a total nut-free school. It is astonishing how omnipresent nuts can be in most meals when cutting down on meat and dairy!

On a wooden cutting board, there is a Whole-Grain Oat Milk Bread with a few slices cut out of the bread. Also on the side, there is The Oat Milk Cookbook (where the recipe of the bread comes from) with a beige hand towel.

But, as I was grabbing a box of oat milk for the first time at the store, I started to wonder: Can I use oat milk just the same as all the other non dairy milks we are accustomed to? Is oat milk as healthy compared to the other nut milks? Can I make my own oat milk right in my kitchen with simple equipment?

Well, THE OAT MILK COOKBOOK by Kim Lutz answered all of these questions! And that's why I wanted to share how much I love this cookbook with all of you. Hopefully it will inspire you to jump into the oat milk exciting and growing trend!

How to make Whole-Grain Oat Milk Bread

Making your own bread might be a daunting kitchen exploit, but I assure you that this bread is extra easy to make, even for beginners! And it will make your own kitchen smell like a bakery.

Make this homemade bread at home following only a few easy steps:

Mix the ingredients together in a bowl until well combined.

In a shallow white bowl, there are a mixture of milk and flour and a hand mixing with a spoon.

In a shallow white bowl, there is a dough for making homemade bread.

Then, keep the bowl covered with a clean dishcloth and let it sit in a warm area in your kitchen for 2 hours. This will allow the dough to rise.

There are 2 hands kneading the dough of Homemade bread.

When done, shape the dough into a football and place it in a loaf pan. Then, make 3 superficial cuts on the surface of the dough with a serrated knife and cook in the oven for about 40 minutes.

A few tips from my own kitchen:

I keep my oat milk in the fridge, so before adding it to the bowl, I warmed the milk just a little to reach a lukewarm temperature.
I worked the dough (kneading) for a minute or two before the 2 hours resting time to make sure all the ingredients were well combined together and help activate the yeast. My bread ended up slightly fluffier when doing so.

We loved this bread so much! I made the loaf a few times as I was preparing this blog post and it feels like that's all our 2 and 4 year old ate for 2 days in a row, they were so obsessed with it!

Just like this easy buckwheat bread, it makes for a dense and filling bread, which we actually prefer in our house. We ate it as a tasty side with a simple savory bean soup as well as for breakfast topped with a quick strawberry and chia seeds jam. These both sweet and savory meals were great success! Will definitively be making this bread again.
