Notes

  • Nutritional information is calculated using 2% milk. Values will vary depending on the type of milk used.
  • For a vegan option, use plant-based milk such as almond, oat, or coconut milk.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup according to your taste preferences.
  • Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to avoid added sugars and spices that affect flavor.
