Recipe Notes

If you want to veganize this recipe: 

-Make a chia egg by mixing 1 tbps of chia with 3 tbsp water and let it soak for 5 minutes.

-Substitute the milk for vegetable drink of your choice (soy and oat work best)

-Serve with margarine, vegan butter, coconut oil, tahini or any other nut butter.  You can also omit the butter and spread some marmalade.
