I have been into oat milk lately but hadn’t run across baking recipes that specifically call for it. I will be sure to try this one out!

The recipe looks great! Is it possible to use soy milk instead of oat milk?
Hi Sara! I haven’t tried I usually use Almond and Oat milk. If you use Soy milk maybe choose unsweetened for a healthier option since Soy milk is sweet. Thank you 🙂
It looks so good! Lemon cake was my favourite growing up. Can’t wait to try.
aww thanks Lauren 🙂
