Tips & Variations

• Ingredient substitutions: You can use coconut oil or margarine instead of butter for a dairy-free option. Also, consider using brown sugar for a deeper flavor.
• Optional variations: Add chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, for an extra crunch. You could also swirl in some peanut butter or caramel sauce before baking for a delightful twist.
• Storage or reheating tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave for a few seconds to enjoy a warm slice.
