As far as cooking with it, I mostly just add it to soup. I’ve not tried anything like baking with it, though. I imagine it’d work just as well, though. Usually for baking what you’re really wanting is the dairy fat. And if oak milk is too thin for that, I can vouch for coconut cream.
I’ll have to take a look at coconut cream. If I’m honest though, I’m not much of a baker. I’m going to try it in some soup though. I’ve got a mess of potatoes and it’ll be soup time soonish.
I’ve been off dairy for so long that whenever I catch a whiff or taste of cow milk by oops it just seems so cheesy. Like no ty I do not want mozz in my tea lol
I just had a discussion with a relative about that, he changed to oat milk 1 year ago. Now he can’t stand the smell of milk in his coffee, he says it tastes like licking a barn. I was really surprised, but it totally makes sense (hehe…).
Makes me wonder how long it takes for an aquired taste (milk, mostly by breastfeeding) to be changed. We grow up with this stuff and you have to make a conscious decision to switch away from a childhood memory (sounds weird, but it’s there).
Oat milk genuinely tastes better than regular milk to me, but it is not cheaper where I’m at.
Somebody with a milk allergy, or intolerance turned me on to oat milk.
For me, I like it better and it lasts longer in the fridge.
I haven’t really tried cooking with it yet though.
Works fine for mac and cheese (I made it last week)
