The recipe is adaptable, with the option to add additional ingredients. Chocolate chips can be tossed in if you have an extra-sweet tooth. Alternatively, if you prefer a more subtle sweetness, you can add halved walnuts.
If you don’t own a baking tin, you can use a normal oven dish lined with baking paper, or even a left over foil dish. This super easy recipe is one to be enjoyed by everyone and can be served with cream or ice cream.
