♨️ GET HOT ‘N’ STEAMY

If you like to keep things hot, our Oat Creamers steam like a dream! 

Here’s how you can make the perfect hot drink:

• For a barista-approved latte (at a fraction of the price): Pour your favorite Elmhurst Oat Creamer flavor into any of our Barista Edition Plant Milks. Heat your mixture gently in a saucepan, and froth to perfection using a hand frother.
• Pro tip! No frother? No problem! You can still get the luxurious, extra-creamy texture you crave from your latte or cappuccino. Use a heat-safe blender or a little elbow grease with a whisk. We guarantee the reward is worth it!
• Experiment with flavors. The natural thing to do with a Chai Oat Creamer is to make a cozy chai latte. And that’s fine, but don’t be afraid to experiment with different flavor profiles and ideas. You could mix your favorite Oat Creamer into chai itself, into a cup of cocoa, or even mix up flavors to create an all new sensation. Play around and tell us what you come up with!

☁️ COLD FOAM AT HOME

Barista-quality cold foam at home? 

Yes, please!

With Elmhurst Oat Creamers, creating velvety foam for your iced coffee is a breeze.

But that’s not all you can do with it!

• How to make a delicious cold foam: Pour some of your favorite Oat Creamer into a small bowl, then use your hand frother or whisk to whip it into a light and fluffy cold foam.
• What to do with your cold foam: The obvious answer is to spoon it onto your iced coffee or cold brew, adding an effortlessly elegant touch to your drink. You know what else cold foam works brilliantly with? Cookies and brownies!
• Have fun with flavor! Just like you should experiment with hot foams, make sure you do the same here! Mix and match your favorite Oat Creamer flavors with different coffee blends and drinks you make with your Elmhurst Plant Milk to create your own signature cold form combos.

🥣 GO BEYOND COFFEE

Elmhurst Oat Creamers are more than “just” coffee companions.

They can be your secret ingredient for adding a touch of decadent richness to a whole host of dishes. And with just 1g of sugar or less per serving, you can pour a little or a lot and get all the creamy goodness you want and still feel good about every indulgent bite or sip.

• Upgrade your smoothies: Add a splash of your favorite Oat Creamer to your morning smoothie for an extra creamy kick and a subtle background flavor without the extra sugar.
• Better breakfasts: Stir an Oat Creamer into oatmeal or overnight oats for a decadent twist. Bonus points if you’re able to pair the creamer flavor with a complementary fruit or nut topping! Check out our recipes for inspo and remember to show us your creations! 
• Brilliant baking: Where you’re following a recipe where you can be creative with the plant milk you use, swap to a creamer instead for a subtle twist and a slightly different flavor profile. Combine the last two tips when making pancakes for a brilliant, better baked breakfast!
• Dreamy desserts: Whether as a creamer or whipped up into a cold foam, Oat Creamer can work brilliantly drizzled over fresh berries, mixed into a fruit parfait, or as an alternative base to a traditional plant milk for creamy popsicles.

💡 EMBRACE THE UNEXPECTED 

Looking for even more creative oat creamer inspiration?

Here’s three more ways you can experiment with Elmhurst Oat Creamers:

• Try a savory twist: Try using your Oat Creamer as the base for a creamy vegan sauce or soups. Our Unsweetened Oat Creamer is a great alternative to recipes that suggest using a nut milk if you prefer a neutral flavor while retaining a rich base.
• Upgrade your “nice cream”: Try one of our Oat Creamers to bring a different flavor background to your next batch of nice cream.
• Keep things cool with coffee cubes. Freeze your creamer in an ice cube tray and add to your favorite iced coffee for a slow-release, creamy infusion that won’t water down your drink.
