Notes

Serve with Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of extra walnuts. For a festive touch, drizzle with sugar-free icing or add a scoop of natural ice cream. To store, keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for about a week. For longer storage, freeze individual slices wrapped tightly.
