Notes
STORAGE: Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Perfect for meal prep for the week!
SWEETENER: Instead of Agave, you can simply use maple syrup throughout entire recipe.
OVERNIGHT OPTION: Follow steps and then tightly cover individual bowls with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or at least 8 hours). Remove from the fridge when ready to use and assemble.
TOASTED NUTS: Add chopped pecans/walnuts to a baking sheet and toasting them in the oven (400 degrees Fahrenheit) for 5-10 minutes, tossing them halfway to avoid browning on one side.
PUMPKIN SPICE BLEND: Mix together 1 Tbsp cinnamon, 1 tsp nutmeg, 1 tsp ground ginger, + 1/4 tsp ground cloves. Add a 1/2 tsp of all spice for extra flavor.
