Notes

Note 1: A grated apple adds texture and sweetness—use Granny Smith for a tart flavor or Honeycrisp/Fuji for a sweeter taste.

Note 2: I prefer almond or peanut butter. Peanut butter has a stronger flavor, while almond butter is more muted—use whichever you like. For almond butter, I recommend a slow-roasted and lightly salted version that I enjoy eating straight from the jar.

Note 3: Try some of these serving suggestions! A scoop of coconut yogurt, drizzle of maple syrup/honey, scoop of nut butter, and/or fresh berries.
