Notes

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days. The dough firms up as it chills, which actually improves the texture for eating straight or scooping into bites.
Sweetener options: Brown sugar, maple syrup, and Medjool dates all work great here. Dates give the most caramel-like flavor and keep it refined sugar-free.
