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.
