What I love about this Oatmilk Yoghurt Recipe is the beauty of this oaty recipe, part one being only yoghurt, yoghurt, and part two being kompot, which is that it’s both easy and versatile.

The creamy and mellow oatmilk makes a perfect base for yoghurt. When fermented properly, you get a spoonable, smooth texture that complements granola, fresh fruit or even blended into a smoothie. And as a bonus, it’s a budget-friendly alternative to plant-based yoghurts from the store.

🥄 Keys for Perfecting the Oatmilk Yogurt Recipe

To master the Oatmilk Yoghurt Recipe, it’s essential to focus on three things: the quality of your oatmilk, the type of yoghurt starter or probiotic, and the incubation time. Always choose plain, unsweetened oatmilk with minimal additives or thickeners, as added oils or gums can interfere with fermentation. A good-quality probiotic capsule or plant-based yoghurt starter with live active cultures is crucial for proper bacterial development. Lastly, be patient with the fermentation process, maintaining a steady temperature (ideally between 100–110°F or 38–43°C) for 8–12 hours will yield the best results.

When you make your own, you save money over time, and you get to make a cleaner, healthier version that’s catered to your dietary specifications. Oatmilk yoghurt from scratch is eco-friendly, makes less plastic waste and offers endless flavour possibilities with fruits, spices or natural sweeteners.

Method

 

1. Heat the Oatmilk:
