Store-bought, gluten-free oat milk is hard to find and expensive. In addition, it often has hidden oat starch sugar, chemicals, gluten, gums, and defoamers.
But no need to worry because, in 15 minutes, you can make organic, gluten-free oat milk fresh from ZEGO Double Protein Oats and have peace of mind with every delicious serving.

Gluten Free Oat Milk
INGREDIENTS
Makes 2+ cups oat milk
- 4T (1/4c) ZEGO Double Protein Oats
- approx. 1/3 cup boiling water
- small pinch of salt
- 2 cups water
- Optional: 1/2t vanilla, 1t maple syrup
- Optional: to make creamier, add 1t organic, unrefined avocado oil, high oleic sunflower oil, or mild flavor EVOO
METHOD
- Put oats in a small bowl, cup or other heat friendly container.
- Pour boiling water over the oats to cover generously (approx. 1/3 cup).
- Let sit 10-15 minutes to soften oats and eliminate any bitterness.
- Add to blender with 2C water and a tiny amount of salt and blend for 30 seconds.
- Use as is for smoothies and milk.
TIPS
For smoother milk, strain through a strainer lined with cheese cloth.
STORING: Keeps up to 1 week in the refrigerator in a glass jar. Shake to remix if needed.
SMOOTHIES: decrease water and add frozen fruit or ice cubes with your other ingredients.
No need to buy dairy-free milk anymore! With this recipe, you can have creamier milk, better nutrition, and gluten-free and allergy-free safety.
What we also love about this recipe is that we aren’t burdening the environment by buying the plastic containers used for most non-dairy milks. And, we don’t put extra carbon in the air by shipping our non-dairy milk around the country that is mostly water.
It’s good for us AND good for the planet.
That’s the ZEGO way.

Sulfites are one of the top 14 allergens. Exactly what are they? Read all about them below.👇👇👇
Sulfites are natural or added chemicals in some foods and drinks to enhance flavor. Here's where they might be hiding:
– mostly found in processed foods
– can occur naturally in beer and wine
– used in some medications to increase shelf life
The FDA has deemed sulfites safe to consume, however, for some people, these chemicals can cause a mild or severe allergic reaction, most commonly asthma symptoms.
Some ingredients that indicate sulfites are:
• Sulfur dioxide
• Potassium bisulfite or potassium metabisulfite
• Sodium bisulfite, sodium metabisulfite, or sodium sulfite
Tag someone in the comments that has an allergy to sulfites so they know about ZEGO! All of our bagged products are sulfite free!

We often see confusion over the difference in wheat allergies and Celiac Disease and we agree, they can be confusing!
Wheat allergy and celiac disease are both adverse food reactions, but their underlying causes are very different.
Wheat allergy results from an adverse reaction to proteins in wheat and reactions can cause typical allergy symptoms involving the skin, gastrointestinal tract, respiratory system, and anaphylaxis in some individuals.
Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease. Antibodies are produced in response to the presence of gluten resulting in inflammation and damage to the lining of the small intestine. Many symptoms involve the gastrointestinal tract (e.g., diarrhea, constipation, weight loss, abdominal pain and bloating). Other symptoms can include skin rashes and disorders that result from nutrient deficiencies.
The estimated global prevalence of celiac disease is 1%, similar to wheat allergy.
Do you or someone you know have a wheat allergy? Share this post to make sure they know ZEGO has their new favorite wheat/gluten free products.
!!GF + Vegan Muesli Batter!!
Whether you choose Cinnamon Twist or Apple Cranberry, our Muesli Batter makes the best GF Vegan Pancakes, Waffles and Muffins.
Don’t get us wrong, we love our sourdough muesli batter. But let’s face it, not everyone caught the sourdough bug of 2020.
What makes this recipe the BEST gluten-free batter? Delicious + Easy + Sugar Free + extra nutrition from the seeds in our muesli.
INGREDIENTS
1 C ZEGO muesli – pick your fave flavor!
1 Tbs baking powder
1/8 Tsp salt
3 Tsp vanilla
4 dates (or 1 Tbs maple syrup)
1/2 cup milk or dairy-free milk
1 Tbs melted and cooled butter/ghee or olive oil (we love ghee)
METHOD
– Put the muesli and salt in a food processor or blender and blend for about one minute.
– Add the rest of the ingredients except the baking powder and blend for 30-60 seconds until the dates seem adequately incorporated into the batter.
– Add the baking powder and stir with a fork just enough to combine. Over-stirring will decrease the bubbles in the batter and make your pancakes rise less. if you have time, let the batter rest for 50 minutes to give the oats a chance to soak up the liquid.
– If your batter is too thin, you can stir in a couple tablespoons of rolled oats or ground muesli.
Pancakes: Cook in a skillet or griddle on medium-low heat and flip as soon as you can so they don’t burn.
Muffins: Bake at 350 for 15-25 minutes, depending on the size of the muffins.
Waffles: We recommend using a large waffle maker unless you like them crispy.

>>>CRANBERRY PECAN PROTEIN MUFFINS>>>
And they are gluten & dairy free, high protein and delicious!
INGREDIENTS
1/3C butter or dairy free alternative (if using ghee, decrease by 1T)
1C coconut sugar
2 eggs or egg substitute
3/4C pumpkin puree
1/3C water
1T vanilla
250g ZEGO Double Protein Oats (grind in the food processor or high-speed blender for 2 minutes to make oat flour)
60g sweet rice flour (if you don’t have this, increase your oats by the same amount. The muffins will be a bit more crumbly but still delicious)
1T nutritional yeast (optional)
1/3C pumpkin seeds
1T baking soda
1/4T baking powder
3/4T pink or sea salt
1T cinnamon
1/4T nutmeg (approximately 10-20 shavings of fresh nutmeg)
1/3C pecans, chopped + extra for decorating the top of each muffin
1+1/4C fresh cranberries + extra for decorating the top of each muffin
zest of 1 orange, optional
METHOD
Preheat the oven to 350. Grease (or use parchment liners) a standard 12-cup muffin tin.
Cream the butter and sugar together. If using a butter substitute like ghee, don’t worry if it doesn’t get creamy.
Add in the eggs, pumpkin, water, and vanilla. Stir to combine.
In a separate bowl, add the oat flour, sweet rice flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir to blend.
Combine the dry ingredients into the wet and stir to combine.
Set aside some of the fresh cranberries, pecans, and orange zest (if desired) for topping the muffins. Stir the rest into the batter.
Divide batter evenly in your prepared muffin tin. Top with additional nuts and cranberries.
Bake for 25 minutes. Then loosely cover the muffin tin with foil or parchment paper to prevent the tops from burning. Bake for an additional 10 minutes or until a tester comes out clean.
Let cool for 10 minutes and remove from the pan to cool completely.

🥞🧇Muesli Sourdough Batter 🧇🥞
This delicious batter can be combined with either the Apple Cranberry or the Cinnamon Twist Muesli and then turned into delicious and nutritious Waffles, Pancakes or Muffins 🤤
To begin you'll have to make the Sourdough Starter:
🥞Put about ½ cup of ZEGO Double Protein Oats and ½ cup of water in a glass jar and stir with a wooden spoon or chopstick (or your finger).
🥞Leave it in a somewhat warm place (70 degrees F) covered loosely with a towel. Stir each day with a wooden spoon or your finger (no metal) until you notice small bubbles on the surface. This may happen right away. Watch to let the bubbles grow. If they start to shrink, go to the next step ASAP!
🥞When the bubbling slows down, stir the starter, and take half out.
🥞Immediately add in another 3/4 cup oats and ½ cup water. This is called “feeding” your starter.
🥞Once or twice a day, repeat this process for about 2-4 days (ZEGO oats make starter faster than other grains or other oats because there's so much healthy microbiome in them).
The starter can be kept in the fridge for 5 days before needing to be fed again.
(Note that oat starter will not have big bubbles like wheat starter does. You’ll notice small bubbles on the surface and a sweet-sour smell once it gets going.)
What should you do with the sourdough starter you remove each day? Put it in a jar in the fridge and use it for your Muesli Sourdough Batter!!
