Is oat milk eggnog good? ›

Just like cow's milk, which contains added hormones and antibiotics that are bad for you, plant-based m*lks can also be bad if they contain emulsifiers, carrageenan, added sugars and other additives.

I've found that about 10 minutes is long enough to soften the oats, but you can leave them to soak on the counter or in the fridge for up to 30 minutes. Drain the oats, discarding the soaking liquid, and rinse under cold running water. This helps prevent some of that slimy texture I mentioned above.

Xanthan gum works great to thicken cold liquids and you don't need much for a batch. You don't need to add it, but if you don't like the watery consistency of homemade oatmilk, this addition might be a gamechanger for you.

How to tell if oat milk has gone bad? ›

When oat milk is spoiled it becomes chunky and has a thicker consistency. To test this, pour a little bit of oat milk into the sink or in a bowl. If you notice that it's lumpy and has an uneven texture instead of being smooth, it's likely bad. Look at the color of the milk to see if it has turned yellow.

Your oat milk (and other products) should still be good for several days after this date. "Best if used by/best before" dates are an indicator of quality. The product might not taste as good after this date or the texture might suffer but it should not be bad or make you sick if you consume it after this date.

Traditionally made with eggs, cream, milk, and sugar, no one would say that eggnog is a healthy drink. Even a small serving can pack significant amounts of calories, fat, saturated fat, and added sugars. And then there's the fact that homemade eggnog made with raw eggs can be a food-poisoning risk.

Use pasteurized eggs for eggnog

Eggnog may be safely made at home by using whole, liquid or pasteurized eggs. Pasteurized eggs are found next to regular eggs at the store. Egg substitutes can also be used. These products have also been pasteurized.

What if my eggnog gets curdled. There is a high possibility it can get curdled slightly at 2 stages, one is when you are cooking the egg yolk and the milk mixture on the stove. And the other stage is when adding alcohol into the mix. If this happens don't worry, just blend it in a blender until smooth.

Delicious! I am very glad to have found the Misunderstood Whiskey Oat Nog! It's delicious and festive. I'm so grateful there is this great of a non-dairy option!

Plant-Milk Eggnogs Can Be Lower in Sugars and Saturated Fat

'Nog made from nut, oat, or soy milk will give you the flavor of the season, and it tends to be lower in calories and saturated fat because it doesn't contain cream, eggs, or milk. (That means that these types of eggnog are lower in protein and calcium too.)

These dairy free scrambled eggs with oat milk are a simple, yet delicious way to start the day! Best of all, they are really quick and easy to make. Whenever I am looking for a quick and simple breakfast, I whip up a batch of scrambled eggs.

Delicious. I've been drinking Almond Breeze Almond Nog as a replacement to regular Egg Nog that has a lot of sugar during winter season for several years. It has a lot of flavor, nutty but still sweet/ I also love it is plant based and healthy.
