Notes
Nutritional information reflects one teaspoon of maple syrup. For sugar free, just skip the maple syrup.For nut free, use soy milk or oat milk instead of almond. But stick to unsweetened varieties to avoid added sugar.For a richer version (not as low calorie of course) use canned coconut milk.Make it a peppermint hot chocolate by adding ⅛ teaspoon of peppermint extract.
