Notes
Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds. For an even richer flavor, add a splash of your favorite extract like almond or maple. Avoid overcooking to maintain moisture in the center.
