Tips & Notes
- Any plant-based milk works here — oat milk (certified GF) gives the richest mouthfeel; almond milk keeps it lighter.
- Refrigerate maple syrup after opening and use within a year.
- Scrape a real vanilla bean pod into the batter and steep the pod in warm milk for 10 minutes for intense flavor.
