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

  1. Chill your blender jar in the freezer for about 15 minutes before starting. This will help keep your milkshake cold during blending.

  2. In the chilled blender, combine the oat milk, vegan vanilla ice cream, vanilla extract, and maple syrup (if using).

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Pour the milkshake into chilled glasses.

  6. Top with vegan whipped cream if desired, and sprinkle with the toasted oats for a crunchy garnish.

  7. 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.
