Notes

  • The equipment section above includes affiliate links to things I use often in my kitchen and recommend.
  • I used oat milk here because I love the creaminess and subtle sweetness. If you prefer the flavor or nutrition profile of another milk or milk alternative, feel free to use that instead!
  • Nutrition information was calculated for the base recipe only, and not the topping suggestions
