Notes
You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to your taste.
If you prefer a thicker consistency, reduce the amount of almond milk. For a creamier texture, consider using coconut milk.
Feel free to experiment with toppings or add-ins like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or even chocolate chips for a twist.
