Recipe Details
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 5 minutes (for toasting oats)
- Total Time: 10 minutes
- Servings: 2
- Difficulty: Beginner
Ingredients
- 2 cups oat milk, chilled
- 2 cups vegan vanilla ice cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
- 1/4 cup rolled oats (for garnish)
- Vegan whipped cream (optional, for topping)
Instructions
-
Chill your blender jar in the freezer for about 15 minutes before starting. This will help keep your milkshake cold during blending.
-
In the chilled blender, combine the oat milk, vegan vanilla ice cream, vanilla extract, and maple syrup (if using).
-
Blend on high speed for 30-45 seconds until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more oat milk. If it's too thin, add more ice cream.
-
While the milkshake is blending, toast the rolled oats in a dry pan over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
-
Pour the milkshake into chilled glasses.
-
Top with vegan whipped cream if desired, and sprinkle with the toasted oats for a crunchy garnish.
-
Serve immediately with a wide straw for the best texture and enjoyment.
Chef's Notes
- For a chocolate variation, add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the blender.
- To make it fruitier, blend in 1 cup of frozen strawberries or bananas.
- If you prefer a thicker shake, use frozen oat milk ice cubes instead of liquid oat milk.
- This milkshake is best consumed immediately, but can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 hours. Let it soften at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before drinking if frozen.
- Experiment with different vegan ice cream flavors to create your own unique combinations.
