All the ways you can use Overherd
Overherd oat milk powder is incredibly versatile and can be used in almost anything, from hot drinks to pancakes to soups. In short, you can use it for anything and everything you'd normally use dairy or plant-based milk for. Below you'll find inspiration, top tips, and quick recipes to help you get the most out of it.
Hot drinks
Simply pour ready-made Overherd oat milk into your tea, coffee, or hot chocolate, and stir well. Alternatively, you can stir Overherd oat milk powder directly into your hot drink to use it as a plant-based creamer.
Although it's not specifically designed as a barista oat milk, you can also try frothing and steaming Overherd for use in hot drinks.
As well as the basics like tea and coffee, Overherd is also great for all sorts of specialist drinks. We've crafted some recipes for you below using Overherd.

Cooking
Overherd is ideal for cooking of all kinds. Any recipe that calls for dairy or plant-based milk can be substituted with Overherd. You can even add it into recipes just to add a bit of creaminess, especially for things like sauces and soups.
We won't list every possible recipe, as that would take all day, but here's some inspiration to get you started.
Sauces
Overherd makes a smooth, creamy base for savoury sauces. A béchamel is the obvious starting point and from there you're a step away from lasagne, mac and cheese, or a creamy pasta bake.
Next time you're stuck on dinner ideas, try this:
Soups
Stir Overherd into soups for a silky, creamy finish without any dairy. It works especially well in blended soups like tomato, mushroom, or a spiced butternut squash.
Curries
Overherd adds body and a subtle creaminess to curries. A good plant-based stand-in where a recipe calls for a splash of milk or cream. Mix it a little richer than usual for extra body.
Condensed milk
Overherd makes a rich, plant-based condensed milk that's perfect for drizzling, baking, or stirring into coffee. It's a simple mix of Overherd, sugar, and a little coconut oil, ready in minutes.
Custard & desserts
Overherd makes a proper plant-based custard, and works throughout desserts wherever you'd usually reach for milk: rice pudding, ice cream, and more.
Baking
You can use Overherd across a wide range of baking, from cakes to brownies to cookies. Anywhere a recipe needs dairy or plant-based milk. It's also the base for homemade plant-based chocolate, made with just a handful of ingredients.
