How long is homemade oat milk creamer good for? ›

Oats: You can use old fashioned oats or quick oats for this recipe. To store: Oat milk creamer will keep for up to 5 days in a food-safe airtight bottle or jar in the refrigerator. Be sure to shake or stir before each use as separation may occur over time.

The oat milk will naturally separate as it sits so just give it a shake before using. Oat milk will keep fresh in the fridge for up to 5 days or longer. I do not recommend heating homemade oat milk as it will thicken due to the starches in the oats.

“Elmhurst's non-dairy creamers are some of the healthiest creamer options available,” Martin says. That's because they are typically made from simple, natural ingredients without additives or artificial flavors.

Making your own oat milk is not only infinitely cheaper, but it's just as delicious (if not more-so) than the store-bought versions! Plus, some of the more conventional ingredients have added ingredients, like canola oil or refined sugars, which, if you ask me, is truly not necessary.

Does oat milk go bad? Yes, both refrigerated and unopened oat milk will go bad eventually, although you do have plenty of time to enjoy it. All of our MIGHTY M. lks are UHT products which means you can buy them in bulk and if unopened you can keep them in the cupboard for up to a year.

Pros - Making oat milk at home is super affordable and can be made in just about 5 minutes because you don't have to soak the oats ahead of time. Cons - You can't warm up homemade oat milk or use it in things like coffee or hot chocolate.

Xanthan gum works great to thicken cold liquids and you don't need much for a batch. You don't need to add it, but if you don't like the watery consistency of homemade oatmilk, this addition might be a gamechanger for you.

Over-blending can make the oat milk slimy in texture, which is why we recommend blending for about 30-45 seconds. Soaking your oats can also make the oats more prone to sliminess. Just add to the blender with water and blend! Sometimes heating your oat milk can make it become slimy, so we don't recommend it.

What's the difference between Oatmilk and Oatmilk creamer? ›

Oat milk creamer: Oat milk itself can tend to be on the watery side, but concentrated oat milk creamer provides a thicker consistency more similar to half-and-half.

Starbucks uses Oatly Barista Edition oat milk. This is a brand of oat milk that is specially formulated for making coffee drinks. It has a creamy and foamy texture, and it does not separate or curdle when mixed with hot coffee.

RDN Sharon Palmer noted that oat milk typically has a lower protein content (about two to three grams) compared to dairy milk or soy milk. “Oat milk also tends to be higher in calories and carbohydrates compared to other plant-based milks like almond and soy milk,” Samuels said.

Oat milk is the better option if you have a nut allergy or want to increase your intake of vitamin B12 and riboflavin. Almond milk is best if you are watching your weight, as it is lower in calories and fat content.

Oat milk should also have a note on the label about how long it can be stored in the fridge once opened. Most should last from 7 to 10 days, but check the label to be sure.

Reminder: once your product is opened, it needs to be kept refrigerated, and we recommend consuming within 30 days.

Combine half and half, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract to a quart-sized (32 oz) mason jar. Cover and shake – screw the lid on tightly and shake the creamer until well combined (you can also whisk it up). Store – keep the creamer covered and refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.

It lasts for weeks for me, but everyone's system reacts differently. From personal experience SO FAR with this creamer- it's been fine after 7 days. Sure, no food, fresh, frozen, or old can ever be guaranteed 100% safe. But in general, anything that looks and smells fine, is fine.
