This is awesome! Can’t wait to cook it.
Such a delicious dish! Thank you.
Looks so wonderful! Thanks for posting.
Absolutely delicious! Thanks for sharing.
IMO maple syrup would play off the other flavors much better than chocolate syrup would. I’d also swap the milk for full fat yogurt, more nourishing and satisfying. Ice cubes for added body and texture. A pinch of spice (a premixed spice blend like apple pie or pumpkin pie spice blend for convenience). and top prepared with walnuts for healthy fat and crunch. Which, I know, swapping milk for yogurt, it’s technically now a smoothie :.)
