🍎Ingredients
- Apple: Adds sweetness and juiciness (I used Gala).
- Rolled oats: For a creamy, hearty base.
- Peanut butter: Natural peanut butter adds creaminess and protein. You can also use almond or cashew butter instead.
- Chia seeds: Help thicken the oats and add fiber.
- Ground flaxseed (aka flaxseed meal): Provides a nutty flavor.
- Maple syrup: Adds natural sweetness.
- Plant-based milk: I used almond milk, but any dairy-free milk like coconut, cashew, or oat milk works.
- Cinnamon: Adds warm, cozy flavor.
- Walnuts for topping (optional): Add crunch and healthy fats.

💡Marinela's Tips
