TIPS

• Make It Extra Sweet: If you prefer a sweeter version, add a teaspoon of maple syrup instead of honey
• Serve With A Topping: Pair with Greek yoghurt, almond butter or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added richness.

VARIATIONS

• Gluten-Free Option: Use certified gluten-free oats for a 100 percent gluten-free version.
• Extra Protein: Add a spoonful of chia seeds or hemp seeds for a protein boost.
• Spiced Apple Crisp: Mix in a pinch of nutmeg or ground ginger for an even warmer flavour.
• Caramel Apple Twist: Drizzle a small amount of sugar-free caramel sauce before serving.
• Berry Apple Crisp: Add a handful of fresh or frozen berries like blueberries or raspberries for a fruity mix.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

• Refrigeration: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
