 Q&A

 Can I make this ahead?

Yes—store in the fridge up to 3 days and reheat in microwave or oven.

 Can I skip almond flour?

Yes. Use oats for a more filling, “oatmeal bake” texture.

 Does it taste eggy?

No—cinnamon, vanilla, and apple completely balance it out.

 Can I make it dairy-free?

You can try dairy-free cottage cheese alternatives, but texture will be softer.

 Can I eat it cold?

Yes, but it tastes best warm (more like apple pie vibes 🍎).
