Vegan Eggnog
This vegan eggnog blends baked sweet potato and almond butter with warming spices like nutmeg and cinnamon for a creamy plant-based holiday drink. The smooth texture comes from blending the ingredients until silky, sweetened with maple syrup to taste. It can be served chilled over ice or used as a flavorful coffee creamer.

Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 1 tablespoon almond butter (see notes)
- ⅓ cup sweet potato tightly packed, baked
- 2 to 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Combine the water, almond butter, sweet potato, maple syrup, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a high-speed blender. Secure the lid and blend until smooth.
- Taste the drink and add another tablespoon of maple syrup if you'd like it to be sweeter. (Keep in mind that sweetness is muted when chilled, so it won't taste quite as sweet when you serve it cold.)
- Serve the eggnog right away over ice, or transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the fridge until you're ready to serve. Add alcohol if you like. Leftover eggnog can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 48 hours. (It makes a great coffee creamer!)

Notes
- The nutritional information applies to a serving size of about 1 1/4 cups.
- You can substitute almond butter and water with 2 cups of your preferred non-dairy milk such as soy or almond milk.
- If you want to add ginger for extra flavor, include 1/16 teaspoon ground ginger and a pinch of salt.
- Sweet potatoes should be baked beforehand using the method in the referenced tutorial for best texture.
- Leftovers keep up to 48 hours refrigerated; the eggnog can also be used as a coffee creamer.
