Notes
- In the past, I have added multiple types of additional ingredients to taste (depending on the child/grandchild eating it 😀 )Some of these components are as follows:
- Cranberries
- Blueberries
- Walnuts
- Chocolate chips
- Lemon zest
- Toasted oats
- Caramel
- Course sugar topping
- It has been suggested that I add cream cheese, honey, and other ingredients, but I have not tried those yet. Please don’t hesitate to experiment and let me know how it goes!!!
