Notes

MAKE IT VEGAN - Use flax eggs instead of real eggs by soaking 3 tablespoons of flax meal with water for 3-5 minutes before adding it the remaining ingredients. Then use ⅔ cup nut milk or soy milk rather than cow's milk.
MAKE IT DAIRY FREE - Substitute nut milk or soy  milk for the cow's milk.
MAKE IT REFINED SUGAR FREE - Substitute ¼ cup of pure maple syrup or honey for the brown sugar. Then decrease milk to ⅔ cup.
