  • 2 cups of rolled oats

  • ½ tsp of ground cinnamon, unsweetened
  • Large pinch of ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of Himalayan salt
  • 2 TBSP of almond butter

  3. Add your rolled oats and if using, desiccated coconut or chia seeds rice malt syrup, and salt.
  4. Stir well until well combined and batter forms.
