I must tell you a secret…I’ve never actually had eggnog.
I didn’t want my first taste of this nutmeg + vanilla + cinnamon flavor combo coming from a carton with a long list of ingredients and the ambiguous ‘natural flavors’. Homemade is more my style, but why stop at homemade eggnog when you can have homemade eggnog oatmeal?
Of course there’s no egg in this nog because that wouldn’t be very vegan of me, and there’s no sugar either. Medjool dates sweeten this warm bowl of joy. This is the most nutritious form of eggnog I’ve ever seen…and the creamiest bowl of oatmeal too.
Hello, perfect Christmas breakfast…
Maybe I can’t vouch for eggnothenticity, but I can vouch for yumminess. It’s a fabulous flavor medley, perfectly suited to oatmeal!
