It's my favorite too! I don't have a dishwasher and I'm lazy and impatient, so I have an abbreviated version... First I add my oats and cashews into the blender and dry bend them into a fine powder. Meanwhile, I BOIL the correct amount of water on the stove, which I then add directly to the blender. I blend on high for around five minutes until it is thick and silky, no need to strain nor dirty extra pans or bowls to cook or cool it in. I then transfer it into my IP liner, which is already sitting in ice water in the sink to cool. Once it reaches the right temp I stir in my starter, set the IP to yogurt for the desired time, and wait impatiently. LOL
Sometimes I make a double batch and remove half after fermenting for just a few hours, then use it to make cultured vegan cheese with the addition of seasonings like onion and garlic powder whatever, some miso, nooch, and a TBS or two some active sauerkraut or other live veggie culture, and a few TBS of tapioca or potato starch, and let it ferment on the counter until the yogurt is done and frees up the IP... or longer depending on it's taste. Then I dissolve some agar agar in boiling water, whisk it in well to the mix, pour it all into a heat safe mold, and steam on a rack under pressure for 1/2 hour in the IP. It will seem soft at first but refrigerated overnight it should become a nice sliceable block or wheel of cheese. Love that IP!
@Char Covelesky All great ideas! Don't you love it how sometimes "being lazy" = "getting more creative" with our methods of doing things? 😀
@@adventuresinveganliving Works for me, thanks!
Watching from London UK.❤
Hi can I use my slow cooker for this? I don’t have anything like an instant pot due to space and financial situation. How long would I need to cook it for? Many thanks
I really like the fact that you managed to remove the filtering step , it makes this so much easier and less messy !
Thank you!
I also tried her recipe. What I did different was that I used my vitamin to bring the yogurt up to 160F. No need to use another pot. They say it can cook a soup so I figured why not bring the yogurt up to temp. Let me know if you try it.
Great idea!
I tried this initially on my first attempt (yesterday). It didn't thicken up for me. Did yours thicken up? Thanks
Made this last night and it turned out fantastic. Followed your directions as closely as possible and I’m thrilled with the outcome! It’s thick, creamy and smooth. I had no ice on hand so let it cool on the counter while stirring occasionally. It took 35-40 minutes to reach 110 degrees F. I used Acidophilus capsules that totalled about 80 billion cfu- that’s what Jill @ Whole Food Plant Based channel recommends for her Soy yogurt. After adding-and stirring, I filled 2 mason jars, capped them, then wrapped each jar in a tea towel and placed it an unheated oven overnight. I will be making this one frequently - thank you for sharing!
So glad to hear it turned out well! Thank you for letting me know!
how many capsules did you use?
I have a glass lid for my instant pot because there is no need to seal the instant pot to culture the yogurt. Thank you so much for this recipe, I can't wait to try it!
Thank you Connie, let me know how it comes out!
It works either way. What ever works for each individual. I have a glass lid too but I'm going to do it with the sealed lid.
Hi. Can I just ask, do you know if using the glass lid would be okay if making soya milk with the Instant Pot? The only other reason for me getting the Instant pot is for the sous vide function. So, basically, just sterilizing eggs - to make mayo - and cooking the soy milk and making yoghurt. Just bought the glass lid this last minute as had not heard of it before seeing your comment. Thanks!
Yes! My Instant Pot came with the glass lid as well, and it’s easier to clean than the other lid (I just put it in a hot dishwasher cycle), so it’s my designated yogurt lid.
I also have the Glass lid it’s handy all the time anyway. Yes I have made yogurt it works nicely I use double pasteurized Horizon whole milk. If you don’t have to have vegan you don’t have to sterilize that milk so simply Heat it to 110 degrees and Add 1 cup of your previously made yogurt. Mix it well and select Yogurt cover with glass lid. I let mine make over night and that’s really the next day.
Excellent demonstration! Thank you ❤
Thanks!
I'm so glad I found this video!!!! Can't wait to try this recipe!!!
❤😊
Thank you!
Hello. Thank you for this recipe! I love how concise you are and for all the great tips. You actually perfected Miyoko's recipe by eliminating the nut bag. Thank you for the links as well.
Thank you so much! ❤
Thank you! I’m so excited to try this!
You're very welcome 😊
This is a great video. Wonderful, clear directions. Sounds very doable. I am going to try this asap! Thank you!
You are so welcome! 😊
What a great, detailed video. I never thought of making yogurt, but you made it doable.
Thank you!
Thanks so much!!
Ive made tons of soy yogurt in my instant pot but was looking for a change. So glad i found this! Thanks again!
Thank you, let me know how it comes out if you make it!
Hello, you just made me discover the yoghurt button on my instant pot, unbelievable!!! Doing this next week for sure! Thank you!
Glad to hear that! Trust me, it took me 2+ years to discover that button myself 😆
This is incredibly detailed and helpful! Thanks so much!
Thank you 😊
Cool video. A different way of Instant Pot yogurt and full of really good info. Well done! :)
Thank you!
Subbed. Thanks for the tips & recipe.
Thank you!
I MUST try this ... Looks amazing.
Thank you, let me know if you do!
Have to try this!!
Loved this video, will be trying this over the weekend. Thanks! Just subscribed too 😊
Thank you! 😊
Amazing. Thanks !
Thank you 😊
I just found you by accident on youtube. thank you very much for the great video. I've tried so many vegan joghzrt recipes, this one seems perfect to me. Warm greetings from Germany
Thank you, let me know if you try this recipe!
Hey Alina, thanks for posting this easier version of Miyoko's oat milk yogurt. I tried it yesterday in my yogurt maker, using the contents of a probiotic capsule as the starter for half the quantities of ingredients you used and it came out really good.
That's great to hear, thank you for telling me! A lot of people here in the comments have asked if they could use probiotic capsules, but I haven't tried that, so I couldn't give them advice on that. Good to know that it works!
Thank you so much for your video! This is the first time I’ve successfully made vegan yogurt!I’ve tried other plant based yogurt recipes in the past and it was always way too runny and didn’t enjoy taste and texture but loved everything about yours! Thank you so much for your time in providing this recipe for us. Since I stumbled onto your channel for the first time I look forward to looking up more of your videos.
So glad to hear that, thank you for telling me! Happy holidays 😊
Cool to see that you don’t use the nut milk bag.. I made this recipe with a nut milk bag, turned out great but it was messy. Soaking the oats and nuts is a perfect step to avoid squeezing out the milk first. Thank you!
Thank you ♥️
Awesome- thx for sharing- I’ll try it n let u know how it came out!
Would love to hear about it!
A Vitamix or Blendtec will heat the milk to 160 F in 5 to 6 minutes of blending on high. No need to heat on a stove, one less thing to clean, and the milk is even smoother.
Thank you for your input!
I have a NutriBullet RX which is supposed to make like hot soups. Do you think I can do the same process like the Vitamix where I can warm it up in there?
@@mgb426 Sure, it's worth a try.
Maybe try the saute feature on the instant pot to avoid the saucepan on your stovetop and the glass bowl for cooling and therefore a smaller mountain of dishes 🤣
Good suggestion!
Awesome, will try. 🙏🙏❤️😊🌺😇
That's great! 😊
Tanks a lot for your recepice... greetings from Roermond in the Netherlands 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
Thank you!
Awesome love the recipe
Thank you!
Good tweeks. I saw Myoko's version and I thought it was too hard to do. You can still make it easier by cooking the original mixture on the saute function (in my model) in the instant pot and just let it cool naturally or in the freezer briefly. (I do that all the time with things. I let it cool a bit before putting it in the freezer. If you don't leave it too long, it works). You can make the yogurt in the always warm oven to save energy, instead of the instant pot.
All good tips!
This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much for this content. Also, I use the exact milk blend as a creamy cheese substitute 😊
Thank you!
Now i need a instant pot! Thanks.
You'll love it, I use mine every day!
I’ve tried making vegan yogurt twice in my Instant Pot and I had the same thing, tasted good, but wasn’t thick. I’m looking forward to trying this technique. Thanks!
Thank you!
I just add tapioca starch.
I’m inspired- thank you! I’m going to try this for yogurt and kefir too. Don’t want to strain out the oats and lose the fiber… I’ll keep you posted on how the kefir does !
Awesome, please let me know how it comes out!
I just found your channel and it is amazing. I have a question by tha way, How to do it without the instant pot? Any way your videos are super easy to follow and clear. Thanks again 🎉
Thanks Diana! You can make this yogurt without the Instant Pot as long as you figure out a way to maintain the lukewarm temperature (110°F) for 8 hours or longer. This can be your oven set to 100°F OR with the oven light turned on. I've also seen tips on using a crockpot if you have one - set it on the lowest setting for 8 hours.
Hi, first time seeing your videos. I liked your channel. Good content! Also, have you tried making yogurt on the instant pot using Mason jars inside like 4 500ml fit in the 6 quart, but I think the liter jars fit in the 8qt. Anyway, less Hassel, and it works.
Hi Lilia! I actually tried using a large Pyrex dish the first time I made this recipe. For some reason it didn't ferment at all within the 8 hours I set it for. So I put the yogurt in the actual bowl of my Instant Pot, and it worked out much better. I think it just wasn't getting enough heat through the thickness of the glass.
What a great idea to cook it to thicken it. Well done.
Thank you 😊
That was a very simple easy to follow video. Thanks so much. Can you use probiotic capsules?
Sure, just check the package instructions to figure out the ratio of probiotics to the rest of the ingredients.
Thank you thank you thank you! Finally vegan yogurt success and no messy nut bag! I do it all just as you show, but just put it in my yogurt maker after it cools down. So easy and good!!! After many tries and failures, this works!
So glad to hear it was a success! Thank you for letting me know! 😊
👋💚👍
Well done!
Thank you!
I need to try this
Do it! 😉
Instant Pot makes a glass lid that is perfect for yogurt making. It gets around the smelly seal issue as the glass lid hasn’t got a seal
That's perfect, I need to get one of those!
Subscribed! Thanks for this beautiful recipe. I'm curious, when should I add any flavorings like raspberry, etc., if I want to make it sweet?
After the yogurt is done fermenting and has cooled off. It's best if you add those things to the amount you're planning to eat (not the whole batch) just before you're going to eat it.
Thank you for the recipe! Could you please make a cream cheese recipe using this recipe? Thanks
Great idea, thank you!
I love this recipe! No coconut or other thickeners. Can’t wait to try it.
Thank you Carolynn, let me know how it comes out!
I watched the Miyoko’s video and was planning to watch again and then your video popped up. Now I have the simplified version and plan to make it soon:-) Thank you!!
@Wendy Witchner Thank you, glad to hear you found this video useful!
Oats are the thickener
I just discovered your video and your UA-cam channel Irene. This is the recipe I have been searching for for several years! Thank you so much for making this available. I look forward to trying this and it sounds perfect. Of course I am now a subscriber. Thanks again!
Thank you, Melissa ♥️
Nice video thank you. Can I try with the almond instead of cashew?
Sure, I don't see why not. Let me know how it comes out if you do!
New sub!
Aloha from the Island of Oahu! Like you, I have successfully made really watery yogurt. I can't wait to try your method. Although, couldn't I just boil the yogurt in the Instant Pot @ the "boil" setting until it "sets," then remove the Instant Pot insert, ice bathe it & return it to the Instant Pot once the 110 degrees Fahrenheit is reached? Then proceed @ the "yogurt" setting? What are your thoughts about that? Aloha & Mahalo (Thank You)!
Yes, that should totally work! I prefer cooking the yogurt on the stovetop because I can control the heat level better than in the Instant Pot, but if that's not an issue for you, that's ok. The only thing: if you're using the "boil" setting on your IP, you've got to make sure you stir often to avoid those clumps from forming. If you try that, please let me know how it comes out! 😊
I decided to give it a try, also after viewing the same person you are mentionning in your video, and I confirmed my step by watching your video also.
I soaked overnight a mixed of oats, cashews, pumpkin seeds and 2 brazil nuts.
Approx. 1 L of that with approx. 3L of water.
Then I "milked" my mixture with my juicer (I do not have a nutmilk bag cloth).
Then, I cooked the mixture and let it cooled (wrist test for the temperature).
It gave me around 2,5L of yogourt base.
And I add approx. 2 cups of two differents commercial vegan yogourts + vegan keffir.
I have also added 1-2 cups of maple syrup.
And now it is in my Excalibur at 100°F for the next 8 to 16 hours.
So, I hope it is gonna work
And with the "fibers", I added water, cinnamon, anise and brown sugar.
I put it in my mixer for smoothness.
Then I heat it up and it became thick, perfect at "groat".
I will uptade for the result! :)
Update after 8 hours in the dehydrator :
it is thick, the smell of yogourt is there and it taste good :)
But!
I will let it overnight in the dehydrator I want a stronger yogourt flavor. :)
So, I will wait for the end results! :)
Uptade:
Approx 18 hours total in the dehydrator, the yogourt is perfect!
I ended up with 3 x 500g and 1 x 650g of yogourt.
It is so good!
That's great, thank you for letting me know!
Thank you for this video! I'm excited to make this yogurt. I do not have a yogurt button on my IP. can i use the"slow cook" button?
The slow cook option should work as long as it doesn't run too hot. The fermenting time will be different, so make sure to check the flavor every few hours.
Thanks for the recipe. Two questions? #1. Do you have it posted to be able to print it? #2. Have you try adding vanilla or other flavor? Thanks in advance
Hi, thank you!
#1. I've been working on publishing this recipe on my website, but life got too busy - our family just moved across the country, so I'll get it published eventually.
#2. I would recommend adding vanilla and other additives after the yogurt is done fermenting and cooled off in the fridge. If you add those things early on, they may affect the fermentation process.
Hope this is helpful!
Hello Ma'am,
My understanding regarding pre-soaking the oats and cashews is that pre-soaking removes phytates that inhibit nutrient absorbtion.
I've done something similar. But with 2 cups of oats.
Worked a treat.
Great, good to hear!
Do you drain and rinse the oats which you soaked [in order to reduce to zero the liberated phytates], or do you blend them in their soaking water as @adventuresinveganliving appears to do in this video? Also, is the similar yogurt which you indicate you make made using only cashews, or do you use 2 cups of oats + 2/3 cup of raw cashews? Thanks.
I've been making this for a few months now and love it! I was wondering if I could cut the cashews to 1/3 rd cup to cut down the fat content. If so, would I compensate by adding more oats? Can you do this with blanched almonds? Thanks!
That's awesome, thank you for letting me know! Sure, you can reduce the amount of cashews and either add more oats or use a bit less water. Also, blanched almonds will work, too, you'll just need to blend them a bit longer to make the milk smooth.
Instead if cooking the oats cashews mix in the stove, could you just put it on the IP and let it boil? Ty for the awesome video.
Yes, you can definitely do that, as long as you stir the mixture regularly and cool it before adding probiotics. I prefer doing this step on stovetop because I find it quicker + the heat distribution is more even.
I'm waiting for stock of the IP glass lids. Could I use probiotic capsules?
You can do the ice bath in the same pot you cooked in. You can even cook it in the instant pot. You can also take the silicone ring out of the pot for yogurt since you aren’t bringing the pot up to pressure.
Thank you!
I did what you said about blending for 5 minutes and it came out great. Once I have my new yogurt made, how long can I keep reusing the 2 tablespoons from batch to batch for the starter?
Glad to hear that! In theory, you could keep reusing the yogurt culture (2 tablespoons) indefinitely, just like people (including myself) do with sourdough bread starter. Unless it starts tasting funny or change color, it should be ok.
Regarding adding flavor such as vanilla extract or fruit puree, when is the best time to do that?
After the yogurt is done. This way, those extra ingredients won't interfere with the fermentation.
I left it in the oven overnight. It tasted good, thick , but different than yogurt, more like oats, very tasty.
Interesting, so the taste didn't have any tartness?
I made this yogurt and it turned out great! I did everything the way you said to do it. My question is...can I double the ingredients to end up with more yogurt? The amount I got wasn't enough for my family and I. Thank you!
Thank you for letting me know, glad it came out great! Sure, feel free to double the ingredients if you'd like! The fermentation should take the same amount of time, or a little longer if the weather is cooler.
Thanks for the tips. I have added chia seeds to my soy milk to make a thicker yoghurt. Saves the need to cook the soy milk. Adds nutrition, too.
Did it thicken at the end with chia seeds?
Yes, it thickened the yoghurt just be sure to stir the mixture for at least five minutes
before putting it in the instant pot to be sure to disperse the chia seeds.@@adventuresinveganliving
@gracesussman682 good to know, thanks!
Yum! Can I use my slow cooker or does it have to be an Instapot?
Sure, you can use a slow cooker on the lowest heat setting.
❤🙏thank you
You're welcome 😊
I’ve made miyokos oat cashew 10 mos ago with no success and did it again 2 weeks ago. IP for 14 hours and zero tartness, thickness was just ok. Still on the hunt for a good recipe with tartness and thickness. I may try this one.
What kind of yogurt culture did you use?
At least for my first batch, I should have cooked it way less than 10 min on the stovetop. Cooking for 10 min the yogurt got way too thick for my texture preference, but the end product was edible and very tasty with the 8-hour tart instant pot method. Yum with the taste!
Great, thank you for letting me know!
Looks fantastic, would love to try it if I wasn’t highly allergic to cashews☹️…..might try it with almonds and see how that comes out. Thankyou for a super video x
You can totally skip the cashews and use another 2/3 cups of oats instead! I like it with cashews because they add some richness to the flavor because of their fat content. But even without them the yogurt will work out fine.
I believe the Miyoko video has a cashew free option.
You could try macadamia nuts.
Miyako made one with oats and pumpkin seeds.
I’m trying white chia seeds. We will see
FYI- you do not need the ring for making yogurt since it is not working under pressure so less chance of odor transfer :). I make dairy yogurt for husband in IP from heating (pasteurizing to 180') to fermentation. I have tried doing same process with soy milk but it is more like kefir -too thin. Thanks for suggestion of oats and cashews! Looks delish. I use Forager's as starter too.
Good to know, thank you!
I am looking forward to making this yogurt! The question I have, is I am the only one indulging in this recipe, how long does the yogurt keep in the refrigerator, or can I cut the recipe in half?
Do I need a vitamix? I have no blender either. Only a food processor. Looks wonderful
soak nuts overnight or pour boiling water over and let sit for 1 hour to soften. Drain and then use blender or food processor- latter is less than ideal but run long enough to get as smooth as possible. I don't have vitamin but found inexpensive nutribullet a great tool in kitchen. good luck!
@@amandarediger2178
I'm not even vegan, but this looks amazing!!!
Thank you ♥️
Wow. I will try it..... Im from Iraq❤❤❤❤
Thank you, let me know how it comes out 😊
Hi, I really liked your video. But, living in Europe, (believe it or not) we don't have Instant Pots here. I've looked high and low. I've even bought an Instant Pot from the States, and had it shipped over, and got an electrical transformer to deal with the difference in Watts, and Hertz. Anyway, long story short: What would be the alternative to an Instant Pot, for making this yogurt? Thanks a lot for your kind answer. I look forward to testing your recipe.
I'm impressed that you've jumped through so many hoops to get an Instant Pot! However, if it's not working out, there are simple yogurt makers that only have one function - keep the yogurt at the right temperature while it's fermenting. They shouldn't be a big issue to find online even in Europe, I'm sure. And they'll definitely be cheaper than an Instant Pot.
I made this last week and it turned out pretty good, but it wasn't as creamy as store bought. Can I soak the cashews and oats the night before to save time when I start it? Thanks so much for this recipe...the vegan yogurt in markets is so expensive.
Sure, feel free to soak the cashews and oats the night before. Also, if you want the yogurt to be even thicker, try adding an extra tablespoon of oats. To make the yogurt creamier, try blending it for a longer time. I recently blended mine in my Vitamix for over 5 minutes, and the yogurt turned out the creamiest I've ever made. Good luck!
When should sweeteners and flavorings be added? If added before fermentation, will it affect the fermentation process?
I recommend adding flavorings/sweeteners once the yogurt has been chilled. Best if you add them to the individual serving you're planning to eat. I haven't tried adding those in the beginning of the fermentation process, but I suspect that they would affect the sugar to probiotics ratio, and the yogurt won't ferment properly.
Thumpsup to u, without squeezing u made it
Thanks!
I can't believe how much time and effort this recipe takes. Since my time is money, I think I'll just buy the yogurt when I need it. Kite Hill makes a high protein yogurt that has 17g of protein for every serving.
Thanks for your input!
I mean, a lot of the time is hands off, and from everything I hear/read, there’s probably more good bacteria in homemade yogurt than store-bought, but my main reason is to cut back on plastic waste. 🤷♀️
It’s true that you don’t need to seal the lid. When I make yogurt in the Instant Pot, I just lay an oversized paper towel over the top of the pot and lay a silicone lid over that. The paper towel absorbs the condensation that rises so it doesn’t drip back into the yogurt (which adds unnecessary water to the yogurt).
That's a great solution, thank you for sharing! 😊
Made this using kefir as a starter turned out perfect. Thank you.
Fantastic, thank you for letting me know!
Kefir is fermented at room temperature (F70-F85). If you ferment it in an IP it'll get too hot and many of the cultures die. The 'normal' yogurt setting on an IP is F110, while the 'low' setting is still F85-F95 degress, which is generally too warm for kefir cultures.
Thanks for letting me know it works but I'm obviously missing out on some of the benefits
I've always heard that over blending oats makes them slimy?! Well, this looks pretty good.
I could see that happening, but it hasn't been an issue with this recipe.
Thank you for nice recipe, but I don’t have the pot. Could you tell me how much temperature?110 F?Thank you.
Thanks! 100° F = 43°C.
Has anyone tried this using the contents of refrigerated probiotic capsules? That is how I have made yogurt in the past.
This will most likely work, as long as your probiotics are active + you get the right ratio of thickened milk to probiotics. The package your probiotics came in should have tips on how to get the ratio right.
I just stumbled across your channel. I absolutely love yogurt, but all commercial plant based varieties are incredibly disappointing. I have a Ninja Foodi and it also has a yogurt function. I'm going to give your recipe a run. I so love the fact that this is oat and cashew based. I prefer my yogurt more greek style, like basically too thick to run off the spoon. I might trial some thickener after the initial run. Great stuff! Subbed!
Thank you, let me know how it comes out if you try this recipe!
Is there a reason you didn't use the boil function when you made the yogurt? I haven't made vegan yogurt, but I have made dairy yogurt in the Instant pot and used the boil function to get the milk to heat up. I just wondered if it doesn't work with vegan milks.
I prefer to heat up the milk on stovetop because it gives me more control over temperature, how thick I want the milk mixture to become, etc. But using the boil function on IP should work fine, too. You just gotta stir it often to prevent clumps.
Do you drain and rinse the oats too or just let it soak and blend in the same water?
Blend them in the same water. They'd probably turn into mush if I tried to drain them 😄
U can use the yogurt setting to heat the milk
I just use West soy unsweetened organic soy milk. Dump it in the instant pot and some culture however you get it set it for 12 hours and I have yogurt. I just don't have time for cooking it cooling it it's too time consuming
Yep, West Soy is popular for making yogurt.
I love to make soy yogurt in my instant pot, it definitely does not come out this thick, but I love it. I also use it as a sour cream substitute. I want to give this version a try too! Thanx for all the tips. I also make my yogurt in individual jars, so I may try that with this recipe too.
I’ve read several people asking about using probiotic capsules and I’ve read your reply. The package will not say how many capsules to use because the ones people are talking about are for humans to take. I use probiotics to start my yogurt when I take breaks and/or don’t save any yogurt from the previous batch. Depending on the brand of probiotic and how good the strains are, it can take 1-4 capsules. Honestly it’s trial and error. after trying one capsule and letting the yogurt go for eight hours it didn’t work, so I added another couple capsules and let it go for another eight hours and it finally worked. If I change brands of probiotics, I have to start the trail all over lol
A tip for the sealing ring for those that only have one. I thoroughly wash mine between each use, let it air dry and store it in a ziplock gallon sized bag with about 1 Tablespoon of baking soda. I shake it around to distribute the baking soda. I’ve found this helps deodorize the ring a bit and I have had no savory flavors transferred to my yogurt. Sorry for the long comment. Thanx a bunch!
Thanks Amy! I honestly didn't realize that the probiotic capsules people were mentioning were nutritional supplements, not yogurt making supplies 😄 Your tip about storing the silicone ring with baking soda makes sense too.
@@adventuresinveganliving Your welcome! If they are anything like me, that’s how they learned to make soy yogurt in the instant pot. It’s cheaper to buy the capsules than an actual yogurt starter and at the time easier to come by, as you could buy the capsules in the store.
I tried making this recipie twice. Tastes great, but I can't get it to thicken. When I cook the milk on the stove it thickens but then after it's cultured and I stirr it a bit looks like liquid yogurt. I still like it but I wish i knew how to make it thick like yours.... thank you for the video!
You can try a tablespoon of potato starch or tapioca starch during the cooking step. I made a cashew/oat/coconut yogurt and was worried about it being thin so I added 1 tablespoon of potato starch. It was almost too thick! I liked adding the starch because it also seemed to act as a stabilizer. No separating!
Just curious, where do you store your store bought yogurt you have kept to use as a stater-the freezer?
I kept the original store-bought yogurt in the fridge. For all following batches, I just save a little bit of the previous batch and use that as a starter.
Have you ever cut the recipe in half? Wondering if it still works as some recipes don’t double or reduce well. Thx!
I haven't but don't see why it wouldn't work. You'd still need to give it the same time for fermentation though.
@@adventuresinveganliving Agreed! I’m going to try it. Many thanks.
Is there an alternative to cashews that you recommend?
Can I substitute it with coconut or any other ingredient?
You can use any other nuts or seeds insteadof cashews, or use all oats and no nuts at all. I haven't tried using coconut instead of cashews, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. If you try that, please let me know how the yogurt comes out!
I don’t have left yogurt, any idea how many probiotic capsules should I use? I starting soaking the oats and cashews and I just found that my husband finished the yogurt. Also I made half of batch, do I need to put it for 8 hours ?
If you have the capsules, their package most likely will tell you the proportions. As for the timing - yes, you'd still need to culture it for the full amount of time.
Thanks a lot, so just as a note here, that's 1:1:6, oat, cashew, and water.
Yes, thank you
Made this yesterday for the first time, it wasn't as thick as I'd like it to be (I'll try again). Is it common to have condensation around the inside of the pot? Thanks
To make it thicker the next time, just cook it a little longer on the stove until it's as thick as you want your yogurt to be. And yes, the condensation is normal.
whenever one does not need to use pressure valve on (making YOGURT) it is not required to put on the SEALING RING .
Agreed. That's what I've been doing since making this video.
hi and thank you , can you freeze it ?
I wouldn't recommend freezing yogurt because the cultures will most likely die.
Can this be made with just a regular blender? Thanks
Sure, just make sure to blend it thoroughly so the yogurt isn't very grainy in texture.
Does it make any difference if you strain the oats and use fresh water instead of the water it’s been soaking in?
No, it shouldn't make a difference.
Thanks. I eat the foragers yogurt with blueberries and flaxseed daily. :-)
My only concern is that I dont have a high powered blender. Should I bother trying with my cuisinart? I kind of think I shouldnt.
You could give it a try, just soak the cashews overnight and blend for a few minutes (take breaks so the motor doesn't overheat 😀).
@@adventuresinveganliving thanks
A Nutribullet will work. I have the 900 series.
I would probably use sprouted organic oats and organic almonds, and if the blender jar is plastic, I wouldn’t soak in it, even if it’s BPA free has other chemicals, I would soak it in stainless steel container or lead free glass and wouldn’t cook with nonstick pan that has forever chemicals normally, and not mix with silicone spatula, as silicone, when heated is released in the food. I also don’t use silicone baking ware.
But anyways, that’s me…
I like that the pot where you made the yogurt seems to be stainless steel!
I only use stainless steel and cast iron pots and pans.
Thanks 😊
