Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup vanilla dairy-free milk beverage (Emily uses almond milk)
  • Pinch nutmeg
  • Pinch salt
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons oil, divided (Emily uses coconut oil)

Instructions

Notes
Oil Note: You can use your favorite cooking oil in place of the coconut oil, if desired. It will only slightly alter the underlying flavor, but won't otherwise affect the results.
