Milk alternatives are nothing new. You see them in the refrigerated section at the grocery store, at your local coffee shop, and in the homes of your friends and family who may not even lead dairy-free lives. Today, we have a lot of options for nondairy milks. There are "milks" made from almond, soy, walnut, macadamia nut, peanut, and even potato. But one of the most popular varieties is oat milk. It stands out because of its rich, creamy taste, making it perfect for smoothies, lattes, scrabbled eggs, and just about any other recipe that calls for a creamy base.

Our top picks

What makes a good oat milk?

If you have rolled oats, a blender, and a glass or two of cold water, you can actually make oat milk at home (it only takes five minutes!). While you may avoid some added sugars if you make your own oat milk, you're also going to miss out on the health benefits that come with fortified milk—a single cup of fortified oat milk will meet about about 20 percent of your daily vitamin D and vitamin A goals. Additionally, certain brands will add other nutrients like vitamin B12, calcium, and riboflavin. Other brands will skip the fortification process all together, so it's important to do your homework. That's why we did the hard part for you and put together all of the creamiest and healthy oat milks you can buy.

How we chose these products

We picked the best-reviewed and most well-loved oat milks available online for home shipping and in grocery store aisles. Bottoms up!

Barista blends are best for—you guessed it—making barista-style coffee. That's because this type of oat milk, while it may contain a little more added sugar, foams easily for at-home lattes, cappuccinos, and more. This reviewer even said "the taste is much better than Starbucks oat milk latte."

Best Organic

Oatsome Organic Oat Milk, 6-Pack

Oatsome Organic Oat Milk, 6-Pack

If certified organic food and drinks are important to you, then you should check out Oatsome. It comes in three flavors—original, chocolate, and barista, and "it's creamy and has a great taste," this review said. "I can drink it in a glass by itself or over cereal."

Creamiest

You may recognize the name, and that's because this company specializes in dairy alternatives. And just like the brand's almond milk, coconut milk, and cashew milk, this oat milk has a smooth taste. Reviewers rave about how creamy it is.

"It doesn’t have an oat-y taste at all," this fan said. "It’s super smooth and creamy. My café con leche (coffee with milk) is so good every morning." And if you want something even thicker, try the Silk Extra Creamy Oat Milk.

Best For Cooking

No added sweeteners means you can use it as a dairy alternative in just about any recipe. It will still add that creaminess you get with regular milk or heavy cream, but this version is vegan.
