Got "Oat" Milk?

I only had vanilla soy milk in the fridge. I needed unsweetened oat milk for a potpie that had a biscuit like crust. I made oat milk by grinding 1 cup oats in the blender, and soaking it in 2-3 cups of water. Let soak for a while, and then strain and use the liquid (you can do the same with almond meal to make almond milk). It worked well!

Later, I was left with slimy oat mush that I just couldn't toss in the compost. Hmm, what can I do with oat slime??

• It tasted OK, so it could be eaten.
• Add some honey and smashed banana and give myself a facial, and if I get hungry...
• It worked well for administering meds. to my little, old pup.
• Homemade dog treats!

By the way, it was a cauliflower and mushroom potpie with a klamata crust, very hearty, very tasty, and from my favorite cookbook Veganomicron. The potpie was perfect comfort food for a rainy, northwest night.
