Tips & Variations

• Vegan option: Use plant-based milk and choose a vegan alternative for the lotus speculoos spread.
• Extra crunch: Add some extra chopped nuts, cacao nibs, or some Peanut Love Granola to the oatmeal.
• Additional nutritional information: Add more fruit as a topping, such as a banana or kiwi, a generous tablespoon of yogurt or skyr, or mix a tablespoon of Boost Mix into the batter for Omega-3 and extra protein. You can also replace the melted speculoos spread with a tablespoon of melted peanut butter for less sugar.
