Many recipes say that soaking the oats prior is not necessary, but it is an important step. Soaking the oats improves digestibility and promotes the nutrients to be better absorbed in your body. Oats, like other grains and lentils, contain phytic acid which doesn’t allow your body to properly absorb nutrients such as iron and zinc.
Since oat milk tends to thicken as heated, I recommend adding in a tablespoon of coconut oil as a stabilizer if you plan on using this milk warm. The coconut oil will keep the milk from thickening.
