McConnell’s Oat Milk Ice Cream now in Cool Classic & Holiday Flavors

Updated in November 2023! A few years ago, this Santa Barbara-based ice creamery phased out their first dairy-free ice cream line. But an oat-based selection soon rose up to take its place. McConnell’s Oat Milk Ice Cream rolled out in seven flavors, each made with gluten free oats, cocoa butter, and highly refined coconut oil. And now, they’ve added some seasonal recipes to the mix!

Tried the seasonal peppermint flavor. Very bold coffee flavor, but overall very nice texture and “rich” flavor. It reminds me of real dairy ice cream more so than other alternatives on the market. Would recommend trying and comparing to other vegan brands for yourself. I’ll be buying more flavors.
