What are you craving?

Actually a banana shake sounds really good! With some cinnamon/nutmeg.

I did it! It's not egg nog but it's good!
I purchased an oatmilk based egg nog, added half banana, a dash of rum flavoring and a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle of cinnamon. It was definitely festive.

I wish I liked oat milk! That does sound really good, though. Love your glass! Where did you buy the eggnog?

Big Y. It's the only brand they had. I tried stop n shop because I'm not usually a fan of oatmilk but they had no non dairy egg nog at all! I was shocked.

I would like a non-dairy eggnog too! Publix and Walmart do not have any though. I remember Publix having one a couple years ago but they never have stocked it since.

It's the slimy/oily texture that bothers me about oat milk, but I'm wondering if I can reduce that by making it myself, as I think it's just mostly oats and water.

I’ve never noticed that. What brands have you tried?

Maybe it's a U.S. thing with the additives. I honestly don't remember the brands, but it wasn't Oatley because that was very pricy.

I tried making myself and it was a complete fail.
This nog does not taste slimy/oily to me although I don't really like it plain as is. And maybe the banana helped to mask the texture.

I edited this to say not. It does NOT have a slimy/oily taste! @PTree15

 

[KLS52]

This is the one I have.

I don't find oat milk to be slimy or oily. I have tried a few brands, mostly the higher end ones. I have Planet Oat right now. I buy it on sale.

I just made some, and it's definitely not slimy. It is a tad bitey, so I'm wondering if it's the oats and the pesticide residue or my water, which I do filter. I'm wondering if organic oats will work better. It's not bad, though. I like it much better than the store-bought ones I've tried. It might do with a little sweetener. I may add some maple syrup to it the next time I try it. I'll see how it goes as I use it. I'm tempted to try a nog recipe with it.
