Scrambled Eggs with Oat Milk

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.

I really love how I can even take them to go by putting them in a pita with a little bit of mayonnaise.

I’m also regularly trying new ways to make scrambled eggs because I am fascinated by the different interesting things I see.

For example, did you know that by making scrambled eggs with mayonnaise you actually can have the most perfect scrambled eggs without any fuss?

Scrambled eggs with starch also create scrambled egg perfection with no effort!

Then of course there is the question of if you even really need milk in scrambled eggs – which by the way my scrambled eggs without milk prove you don’t.

What about using different dairy free milks, does that change the flavor? Like say you make scrambled eggs with almond milk, will they have a nutty taste?

Now that I’ve fallen head over heals for oat milk, I of course had to make scrambled eggs with oat milk.

ARE EGGS DAIRY?

No, eggs are not dairy.  Dairy is milk and any food products made from milk, including cheese, cream, butter, and yogurt. 

So, while eggs are an animal product, they are not dairy. In fact, eggs fall under the protein food group.

How to make scrambled eggs extra creamy

It may sound crazy but adding a tablespoon of mayonnaise when beating your eggs actually makes the perfect scrambled eggs!

I didn’t put this amazing tip in the recipe because mayonnaise can seem like a very strange addition to most recipes.

That said, it is my secrete ingredient for some of my favorite recipes like my incredibly creamy mashed potatoes without milk!

When you add mayonnaise it yielded the perfect scrambled eggs in a quarter of the time that it normally takes.

And think about it, mayonnaise is eggs and oil so why wouldn’t it be a good addition to scrambled eggs?

If you’re worried about it will have strong mayonnaise flavor, don’t be! The eggs tasted rich and luxurious.
