If you love chocolate milk, then let me introduce you to the greatest thing since OG chocolate milk came onto the scene - Creamy, Dairy-Free "Nutella" Oat Milk. This delicious drink has only 5 ingredients, and takes just a few seconds to whip up. Oh, and it's vegan, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free, too. This is the perfect recipe to make for your kids, or to simply satisfy the kid within you!

Instructions
Start by adding all of your oat milk ingredients to a blender- the rolled oats, water, maple syrup, salt, and vanilla extract (if desired).
Blend on high, until the oats are fully broken down into a milk-like consistency.
Next, add in a few tablespoons of your Nutella or chocolate hazelnut spread and blend until fully incorporated. I recommend tasting and adding in more of the spread, if desired.
Then, take a large mixing bowl and place a nut milk bag inside of it. If you don’t have a nut milk bag, you can also use a cheese cloth.
Pour your oat milk into the bag and slowly (and very gently) squeeze the milk into the bowl, letting it strain through the bag. The leftover pulp will remain in the bag, and that is totally okay.
Pour your strained milk into a mason jar or carafe, and enjoy!
You can store your milk in the fridge for up to one week.
