  • Add ½ cup chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds for extra crunch.
  • Replace half of the butter with unsweetened applesauce for a lighter version.
  • Stir in 2 tablespoons of almond butter or peanut butter for added protein.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze individual slices for up to 2 months and reheat as needed.
  • Reheat slices in the microwave for 30–60 seconds or warm in a 300°F (150°C) oven for about 10 minutes.
