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.
Read more about store-bought brands in our blog.
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.
Aldo Leopold’s quote reminds us that the land is far more than just the physical ground beneath our feet, it is a dynamic and interconnected system, a source of life and vitality. The health of our land is intricately tied to the health of our bodies. It speaks to the profound connections between all living beings and ecosystems, highlighting the importance of stewardship for a sustainable future. Let’s honor this interconnectedness and nurture our land with care. 🌱 #regenerativeagriculture

🍎🧇This muesli batter makes the BEST gluten-free & vegan-friendly pancakes, waffles, and muffins!
Apple Cranberry Muesli Batter for Waffles, Pancakes, and Muffins
INGREDIENTS
1 c ZEGO Apple Cranberry Muesli
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)
DIRECTIONS
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.
For Pancakes: Cook in a skillet or griddle on medium-low heat and flip as soon as you can so they don’t burn. Though you need enough heat for the pancakes to form their “feet” so you can flip them easily, we like to turn down the flame during cooking if the batter is really thick.
For Muffins: Bake at 350 for 15-25 minutes, depending on the size of the muffins.
For Waffles: We recommend using a large waffle maker instead of a mini as the mini doesn’t give the dough enough room to puff up. However, if you like really crispy waffles then a mini works great.
Enjoy! 😋🥞🌱

Have you tried baked oatmeal before? 🥣
How to Make ZEGO Oatmeal Bake
Ingredients
3 c your favorite flavor of ZEGO Muesli or rolled oats
1/3 c cane sugar or maple syrup
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp ground cinnamon
scant 1/2 tsp fine-grain sea salt
2 c dairy-free milk
1 egg or substitute
3 tbs oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 bananas, cut into 1/2″ slices
1 1/2 c blueberries or mixed berries
Method
Preheat oven to 375 with a rack in the top third of the oven. Generously grease the inside of an 8-inch square baking dish.
In a bowl, mix together the muesli/oats, the sugar (if using), baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the maple syrup (if using), the milk, egg, oil, and the vanilla.
Arrange the bananas in a single layer in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle 2/3 of the berries on top. Cover the fruit with the oat mixture.
Slowly drizzle the milk mixture over the oats. Gently give the baking dish a couple thwacks on the countertop to make sure the milk moves through the oats. Scatter the remaining berries across the top.
Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until the top is golden and the oat mixture has set.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with a bit more sugar or drizzle with maple syrup, if you like.
Cool completely before cutting.
Enjoy! 😋

💡Did you know that ZEGO’s raw Double Protein Oats make a great gluten-free sourdough starter, and they do it MUCH faster than oatmeal and flours that are not raw? 🌾 As you can see in the picture, ZEGO’s oatmeal grows almost 1/3 more in just the first 18 hours. And, it’s easy to do if you follow the instructions below.
Using our sourdough starter also makes recipes even more digestible than using just our gut-friendly Double Protein Oats. Sourdough adds prebiotic fiber and adds leavening to your dough, making the fluffiest pancakes, muffins, waffles, and more! 😋
How to Make Sourdough Starter with Raw Oatmeal
🔸Put about ½ cup of 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. )
🔸Once you see the bubbles, stir, and take out half the starter. This is called your “discard.”
🔸Immediately add in another ½ cup oats and ½ cup water. This is called “feeding” your starter.
🔸Once or twice a day, repeat this process for about 5-7 days.
🔸You can start using the discard for baking or oatmeal if it has developed a sour-sweet smell like sourdough bread. If it has an “off” taste or smell, do not eat it. It isn’t ready yet, and it will give you a tummy ache!
🔷The starter can be kept in the fridge for 5 days before needing to be fed again.

🎉 Get ready, ZEGO fam! 🌱🚀 Tomorrow’s the day we’ve been waiting for! 🌟 We’ve got some MAJOR news to drop, and we can hardly contain our excitement! 🤩 Stay tuned because tomorrow’s announcement is going to change the game! 🤯
Happy B Corp Month! 🎉🎉Here at ZEGO, achieving B Corp certification was no small feat. It’s not an easy process, but we’re so proud we did it. Certified B Corporations are leaders in the global movement for an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy. Unlike other certifications for businesses, this certification is unique in its ability to measure a company’s entire social and environmental impact.
But our journey doesn’t end there.
We’re all about progress—it’s in our DNA. We’re committed to progress for the long haul.
Our goal? To change the culture of the food industry — establishing your right to know what’s in your food — so it better supports you, your community, and our planet.
So, what’s next for us? This year, we’re setting our sights on growth. We’re working on building a collaborative, vertically integrated value chain for Montana-grown, gluten-free specialty grains that are more sustainable for the planet and free from toxins and other harmful contaminants.
We’re working on building a more user-friendly transparency platform that will help consumers make informed purchases about the foods they buy.

Happy B Corp Month! 🎉🎉Here at ZEGO, achieving B Corp certification was no small feat. It’s not an easy process, but we’re so proud we did it. Certified B Corporations are leaders in the global movement for an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy. Unlike other certifications for businesses, this certification is unique in its ability to measure a company’s entire social and environmental impact.
But our journey doesn’t end there.
We’re all about progress—it’s in our DNA. We’re committed to progress for the long haul.
Our goal? To change the culture of the food industry — establishing your right to know what’s in your food — so it better supports you, your community, and our planet.
