Sometimes the most nourishing recipes are the simplest. This creamy lemon oat pudding starts with just rolled oats and water, transformed into fresh homemade oat milk before becoming a silky, refreshing dessert.
Rather than using store-bought oat milk, making your own from soaked oats means you're enjoying a recipe made from simple, whole-food ingredients without the unnecessary oils, gums or preservatives often found in many packaged alternatives. The result is a pudding that's naturally fat-free, light, satisfying and wonderfully refreshing.
Oats are naturally rich in beta-glucan, a soluble fibre that supports heart health, nourishes beneficial gut bacteria and helps keep you feeling fuller for longer. Combined with fresh lemon juice and zest, this pudding is bright, creamy and perfect for a wholesome snack or dessert.
If you use certified gluten-free oats, this recipe is also suitable for those following a gluten-free diet (provided gluten-free oats are appropriate for your individual needs).
Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats (certified gluten-free if required)
- 2 cups filtered water
- Zest of 1/2 lemon
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Pure maple syrup, to taste
Method:
1. Soak the oats in the water for 30 minutes.
2. Blend until smooth.
3. Pour the mixture through a nut milk bag, squeezing well to extract the fresh oat milk.
4. Pour the oat milk into a saucepan and stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice and maple syrup.
5. Cook over low to medium heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens into a smooth, creamy pudding (approximately 8–12 minutes, depending on your stove).
6. Pour into serving bowls and allow to cool. Refrigerate for an even creamier texture before serving.
