Upgraded Classic: Vegan + Dairy-Free “OatNog” – w/ Willa’s Oat Milk

OatNog is becoming a staple on grocery shelves. I love to see the shift into dairy-free, vegan options at the store. However, I’m always wary of food products which tend to have hidden oils, sugars, and preservatives. I set out to make my own at-home version of Oat Nog since it can be so simple! And- no hidden ingredients!!

This Dairy-Free OatNog is made with whole grain oat milk, for a lightened up version of a heavy classic. It’s hard to find dairy-free, vegan replacements that everyone enjoys! I tested it out on non-suspecting volunteers at a holiday party, and they didn’t even notice that it was missing the eggs, heavy cream, and sugar that typically makes up a Holiday Egg Nog.

I served it warm, straight-from-the-stove, with optional alcoholic mix-ins. OatNog would also be great paired with holiday cookies from a local bakery. It’s so nice to have a holiday classic without the guilt (and digestive discomfort!).

Oat milk offers a great creaminess without heaviness. Plus, it’s dairy-free and vegan! For the ultimate sugar-free, clean option I use Willa’s Unsweetened Original Oat Milk. The coconut cream gives this OatNog that familiar thickness, and provides healthy fats.
