Growing up, I always loved cheese – it was on nearly every dish imaginable! But now that I’ve gone vegan, I’ve had to find alternatives to fulfill my cravings. That’s where this recipe for oat cheese comes in! It’s a delicious and nutritious vegan cheese that is so easy to make at home.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of rolled oats
- 1 cup of hot water
- 1/4 cup of nutritional yeast
- 1/4 cup of refined coconut oil
- 1 tsp of garlic powder
- 1 tsp of onion powder
- 1 tsp of salt
- 1/2 tsp of paprika
- Juice from half a lemon
Instructions:
First, you’ll need to start by soaking your rolled oats in hot water for about 5-10 minutes. After that, drain any excess water and transfer the oats to a blender.
Next, add in the nutritional yeast, coconut oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, paprika, and lemon juice to the blender. Blend all the ingredients until they are well combined and have a creamy texture.
Now, it’s time to transfer the mixture to a container – we recommend using a silicone mold or a small container lined with parchment paper. Smooth out the top of the mixture with a spatula and cover it with cling wrap.
Refrigerate the container for at least an hour to allow the mixture to set and become more firm. Once it’s done, you can take it out and slice the cheese as you please!
This vegan oat cheese is perfect for snacking, adding to sandwiches, or even using as a yummy topping on roasted vegetables. Plus it’s packed with fiber and nutrients – you can feel good about indulging in it!
