Ingredients
  

For the Cup Mixture
  • 1 cup Applesauce Provides moisture and natural sweetness; substitute with mashed banana for a fruity twist.
  • 1/4 cup Honey or Agave Acts as a natural sweetener and binds the mixture; replace with maple syrup for a vegan option.
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract Enhances the flavor; optional but recommended for a richer taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon Adds warmth and spice; feel free to try nutmeg for an alternative flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Balances sweetness; omit if you’re following a low-sodium diet.
  • 2 cups Rolled Oats Ensure they're gluten-free if needed.
For Toppings (Optional)
  • Yogurt or Fresh Fruit Adds creaminess and flavor; vegan yogurt is a great dairy-free option.
