This will keep in an airtight container. It can be sliced and served cold as a treat with coffee or pre/post exercise. Or as a dessert warmed up in the microwave with a low fat ice-cream, a few strawberries on top, then sprinkle a dash of maple syrup on top and finish with a dusting of caster sugar.
