Notes
- This recipe makes 1 serving as written. You can scale it up to make a bigger batch. I like to portion the ingredients out into individual mason jars for grab and go breakfasts. You can also make a big batch in a larger container to scoop from when serving.
- Store for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
