Notes

For a healthier twist, substitute white flour with white whole wheat or spelt flour, and use coconut sugar or maple syrup. Add-ins like flaxseed, chia seeds, or protein powder make it more nourishing. Store at room temperature for 3 days, refrigerate for up to a week, or freeze slices individually.
