Notes
Add-ins: Fold in chocolate chips, berries, or chopped nuts for extra flavor and texture.
Vegan Version: Use plant-based milk (like almond or oat milk) and replace the egg with a flaxseed or chia seed egg substitute.
Spices: Experiment with other spices like cardamom, ginger, or allspice for different flavor profiles.
Whole Wheat: For a heartier version, substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
