Notes
Other Thoughts
- To zest a lemon you need a microplane, which is a very fine grater. Gently run the whole lemon over the microplane. You just want to take the yellow part off. Stop when you get to the white – this part is bitter.
- If you don’t have almond flour or meal, you can make it with slivered or raw almonds. Put them in a blender or food processor and blender for a few seconds until a flour forms.
- Don’t blend too long or you’ll make almond butter.
- This can easily be gluten free by using gluten free oats.
- This can easily be vegan by using nondairy yogurt and nondairy toppings.
- Make this into Apple Crumble by using 5 cups of peeled, sliced apples + 1/4 cup maple syrup with the apples + 1/2 tsp cinnamon in the apples and in the topping. I also left out the lemon zest. It’s delicious.
