Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups rolled oats Use for a smooth texture.
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and water. Let it soak for at least 1 hour or overnight to soften the oats.
  2. After soaking, blend the oat and water mixture until completely smooth. The longer you blend, the creamier your yogurt will be.
  3. Pour the blended mixture into a clean container. Cover the top with a clean cloth or kitchen towel to allow for fermentation.
  4. Leave the container at room temperature for 24-48 hours. The longer you let it ferment, the tangier it will become.
  5. After fermentation, stir in the lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Mix well to incorporate everything.
  6. Transfer your creamy and tangy oat yogurt to the refrigerator, where it will keep for up to 5 days.

Notes

Pro Tips: If the yogurt is too thick, mix in a little extra water until you reach your desired consistency. Avoid blending for too long as it could warm the mixture, interfering with fermentation. Keep your fermentation area warm but not hot; about 70°F (21°C) is ideal. For added flavor, consider mixing in fruit puree, honey, or maple syrup before serving. Variations: Add a scoop of nut butter for a protein boost and added creaminess. Mix in fresh herbs for a savory twist. Fold in fresh or frozen fruits for a burst of flavor.
