I am wondering why oat milk is never mentioned as a option in recipes. I always see soy, almond, cashew or rice.
Is there a reason for this?

100% with you on that one! If folks knew what almond production was doing to agriculture and the environment they’d cut way, way, way, back. Oats on the other hand? And the “milk” is delicious.

I think it’s because oat milk is relatively new on the market compared to other types of plant-based milk.

This recipe is a very satisfying breakfast for my sweet tooth. I omit the maple syrup and the spinach (since I have salads every day anyway), and top it with coconut, kiwi, pepitas and toasted oats (from FOK’s Southern-Style Banana Pudding Parfaits recipe).
