Notes
- while testing, we found that almond milk was essential in this recipe as it doesn't split or break in the slow cooker like dairy milk does.
- we recommend using unsweetened almond milk - you can use either original or unsweetened vanilla for extra flavor. You could also swap for another favorite dairy-free milk such as oat milk or soy milk
- to make this keto-friendly, omit the maple syrup or replace with 1-2 teaspoons monk fruit sweetener
- Nutritional information includes maple syrup; without it, net carbs are 2 g per serving (4 g total carbs, 2 g fiber)
- Fridge - Let cool completely. Store in an air tight glass mason jar for up to a week.
- Reheat - in the microwave until steaming hot, or in a small pot on the stove top.
