Notes

Nutrition information calculated using oat milk. Treat it as a rough estimate.
Suggested toppings:
  • 1/2 cup no-fat Greek yogurt (120 g): 68 kcal, 12 g protein
  • 1/2 medium apple: 48 kcal, 2 g fiber
Tips:
  • Other topping ideas: chopped pecans.
  • 2 tsp brown sugar + 1 tsp maple syrup instead of 3 tsp brown sugar also works great.
  • Replace 1/2 tsp cinnamon and pinch nutmeg with 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice (or any other spice combo you like with pumpkin). Add more if needed.
