    Traditional eggnog is made with egg yolks, heavy cream, and sugar. Today I'm sharing with you my healthy recipe for easy vegan oat nog. Not only is this recipe SO much healthier, but it tastes wonderful and surprisingly a lot like the traditional recipe.

    To make this vegan eggnog, instead of heavy cream I use my favorite non-dairy milk: oat milk. You can make homemade oat milk if you like, or I like to use Earth's Own Barista Oat because it has a super creamy texture and gets really foamy when shaken or blended. Along with the oat milk you add ground cinnamon, and nutmeg, which are both lovely warm spices. And if you want that slightly eggy taste you can add a tiny pinch of black salt (also called kala namak), which has an eggy taste!

    Serve this oat milk eggnog recipe over ice with or without alcohol for a treat during the holiday season. If you want to try an even creamier vegan eggnog recipe, try my Quick Vegan Coconut Nog recipe which is similar but uses high-fat coconut milk.

Pour over ice and add some spiced rum or bourbon if desired, or serve it plain. It's a delicious holiday cocktail but it's also great in coffee or in your morning oatmeal. Yum! #itdoesnttastelikechicken #veganchristmas #holidayrecies

    How to make easy vegan oat nog:

    Add the oat milk (gluten-free if preferred), maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and black salt (if using), to a jar or a blender. Shake or blend until combined and foamy. Pour over ice adding a shot of spiced rum or bourbon per serving if desired. Garnish with extra nutmeg, a cinnamon stick, or star anise if desired.

    Store leftovers in the fridge in an air-tight container for up to 4 days. Shake or mix again before serving as the spices will have settled.

    Notes

    What kind of oat milk? To make the oat nog, you can use my homemade oat milk recipe, or you can use store-bought oat milk. I used Earth's Own Barista Oat as I love how creamy it is and how it foams up when shaking or blending.
    Oat milk substitute: Feel free to substitute the oat milk for your favorite plant-based milk such as soy or almond.

      Loved this. I didn't have star anise but didn't miss it. This is the perfect holiday drink even if every day is a holiday.

      Terriiiiiiiiiiiiific recipe, it beats store bought by far. We don't do alcohol so it was buzz-free. The black salt REALLY added to the flavor!!!

      Can this be heated and served warm? Wisconsin is experiencing some B-R-R-R temps! And we almost always drink our "egg" nog warm! Thanks Sam and Happy Holidays!!
