The benefits of plant-based milk are numerous. But can you froth oat milk? If you want to enjoy frothed milk, look at everything you should know about frothing oat milk below!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can froth oat milk, though it will be more complex than frothing regular dairy milk.<\/strong>\u00a0This is because oat milk lacks the protein that typically causes frothing in traditional milk!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use many different tools to enjoy frothy, textured oat milk. This includes using a whisk, a jar, a food processor, a designated frother, a steam wand, a blender, a mixer, and even a microwave! They all have different techniques to help you master the milk foam. I\u2019ll discuss them to help you get the right results each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Does oat milk froth?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With a description like that, it\u2019s easy to assume that oat milk doesn\u2019t froth. Naturally, it doesn\u2019t. You probably already know this if you\u2019ve ever poured yourself a glass of oat milk, and it doesn\u2019t froth at its top! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to frothing oat milk for coffee, you can get it to froth beautifully, even if it doesn\u2019t have the same proteins as dairy milk. You\u2019ll have to practice your technique, and I really encourage you to try a few frothing techniques, too. I\u2019ll talk more about that later, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you froth oat milk in a milk frother?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can froth oat milk in a designated milk frother. You\u2019ll use the same portion and technique as you would with other types of milk. As I\u2019ll mention later, the main difference is that it may take longer for you to achieve the froth level you\u2019re looking for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fun Fact:\n<\/em><\/strong>\nSilk is the most popular brand<\/a> of oat milk in the US. Chobani is the second most popular brand.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Can you froth oat milk by hand?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re old-school and often enjoy frothing milk by hand, you\u2019ll be glad to know you can also froth oat milk by hand. The amount of time and effort it takes to get stubborn oat milk to foam can be overwhelming. If you are set on using hand-powered options, you\u2019ll want to be prepared to dedicate time and patience to it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many will use other options when frothing oat milk because it takes time and effort. <\/strong>To each their own, though! I must admit that there is a certain professionalism about properly and effectively frothing oat milk by hand!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is the best temperature to froth oat milk?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you are looking at heating your oat milk, you\u2019ll want to aim precisely for a temperature of 150 degrees F (65 degrees C). I said \u201cspecifically\u201d for a reason, too! It is easy to have your oat milk be too cold or hot, and it won\u2019t froth correctly! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The best way to keep your temperature right where you need it is to use an actual thermometer to monitor it as you heat it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the world gets more and more into the idea of plant-based milk, it\u2019s easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer amount of options. To help you navigate that mess, especially when you just are looking for a choice for frothing, the Oatly barista blends are a great option. These aptly named options are designed for easy frothing so that you get the intended effect of the textured milk but with less effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s not to say it won\u2019t still take effort and practice. It won\u2019t be as tricky as the more drink-focused types of oat milk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The one thing that I found with the barista blends, I must say, is that they do cost a bit more than your classic oat milk. So, if you are looking for oat milk to drink and froth, it\u2019s probably a good idea to save your barista blend milk just for frothing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
