No Bake Eggnog Bites
“And then before we went out, we had these drinks called ‘Eggnog’. It was so good!”
“You drank eggs? You will get worms now.”
“No, mum. EGGNOG, not eggs. It’s a drink.”
“You will get worms.”
“No, but…”
“YOU WILL GET WORMS.”
Don’t try to explain the beauty of the eggnog beverage to my mum. You will just need to accept the fact that you will indeed get worms.
Ironically, before I tried my first sip of eggnog (or rather, first heard of what eggnog was), I too thought it was a beverage based off raw eggs. However, once I learned that the eggs in it were cooked, I was game to try it and fell in love. The nerdy part of me pretended I was drinking Butterbeer, even though it had no relation whatsoever. Since being back in America, you can imagine just how excited I was to see Eggnog stocked at all the supermarkets.
Although I’ll pretend I didn’t see the store named brands whipping it out in SEPTEMBER.
What to do with leftover Eggnog
Traditional eggnog (or the ones I had previously sampled) had typically been full of refined sugar and unless made with a dairy-free milk was unsuitable for those following a vegan, paleo or dairy free lifestyle. I’ve partnered up with my friends at Silk to share a delicious recipe featuring their delicious eggnog! I’ve previously tried their Nog Original and was a huge fan.
This year, I experienced two new flavors- Their Almond Nog original (AMAZING in this recipe) and their Almond Nog Pumpkin Spice. The creamy, rich texture was perfect straight from the carton or one better- Warmed up for 30 seconds.
These healthy no Bake Eggnog bites are soft, chewy and doughy and the perfect snack to have on hand any time of the year! They also use one bowl and take less than 10 minutes to whip up. You’d think they were unhealthy because they taste like dessert but actually are the perfect healthy snack or dessert to enjoy anytime! They are naturally gluten-free, vegan, dairy free and come with a tested paleo and protein-packed option!
Homemade Eggnog VS Storebought
HACK! For my paleo and keto friends out there and for all those occasions the flavored eggnog isn’t available- Check out the instructions to make homemade ‘eggnog’ using Silk’s original unsweetened almond milk. This version is also paleo friendly, so my paleo friends don’t miss out!
Make these delicious no bake eggnog bites and if your ever in the presence of my mum, be aware that you will have worms.

I do use a raw egg in my mayo so maybe I have worms! Actually I’ve never had a problem…with the mayo or the cookie dough. And I’ve actually never tried eggnog!
Oh wow- I need to try out a paleo mayo using that!
to be honest, i have not yet tried eggnog…but its on my agenda for this year.
Please do- It’s delicious 🙂
When the eggnog comes out, I know it’s really the holidays! Yum! These bites looks extra delicious Arman! I’ll just take that little stack of three, thank you very much.
Thanks so much, Allie- Coming right up 😀
Yes, yes, yes! I want these in my mouth right now.
I had my first eggnog experience at Starbucks. Eggnog Latte 😉
I have raw eggs in my tiramisu. So I think that doesn’t count either!
ooooooooo. It totally doesn’t 😀
These sound really good but truth be told I have never heard of half these ingredients,got a recipe for those of us that like all the normal things,love eggnog full flavor and all the other bad for you stuff..
No worries, Kathey! You can replace them with standard options 🙂
Darling when did give you permission to change your font? This kale salad looks amazing!!!
Thanks bae! Can’t wait for your range of wearable kale to hit the shelves!
I only like eggnog if there’s rum in it, so there’s that. I had no idea there was such a thing as almond nog, though. Sounds intriguing! I wonder if I can put rum in THAT.
hahahaha. Spike the beauties with it! The almond nog is SO creamy!
I’ve never had eggnog or pumpkin spice. I’m clearly failing at life.
Dude, it’s like….The butterscotch Big M?
I have had eggnog before and am not the biggest fan. I can do a cup of it at a party once a year and be good for the season. It’s just super thick and clogs my throat. I have never eaten raw eggs. Actually that scene in Rocky where he eats 6 raw eggs in a glass makes me feel really sick. I don’t recommend doing that, you will get worms (and salmonella)
Ooo traditional eggnog can be like that- Silk’s version is so creamy yet not heavy- Give it a try! 🙂
Wait.. excuse me. Pause. Pumpkin spice eggnog? WHAT. I need to find that, and then make these with it. That’s all.
YES! It’s so creamy and delicious!
Talk about fearing raw eggs before knowing eggnog wasn’t raw eggs..my mom drinks raw eggs in her smoothies all the time! freaks me out every time! But these look DELICIOUS. I definitely saw them appearing in september too :p
xo,
Sarah Grace
Oh wow- I’m impressed, I should give it a go!
Thanks Sarah!
Raw eggs = heck no. Eggnog = bring me another glass….my first one must have had a hole in it! Now I can just snack on the nog in addition to drinking it. Delicious idea!
YES. The best of both….nogs. Bites and bevvs.
Anything with eggnog in it is MAGICAL. I LOVE IT SO MUCH.
Right? The Silk’s range is SO creamy without being heavy- I drink it from the cartoon…oops.
Need. To find. Silk Eggnog.
SO GOOD!
I love eggnog, but then I take one sip too many and feel sick (too creamy after a certain point). Guess I should inhale a batch of these instead.
You need to try the Silk’s range- So not heavy! But these bites have your name on them 😀
I love eggnog during the Holidays, but only drink a little at a time. These eggnog bites look so delicious!
Thanks so much, Joanne- You can go to town on these 😀
