Note

Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Substitutions: Use maple syrup or honey instead of fruit juice concentrate if preferred, though this will change the diabetic-friendly nature.

Variations: Add dried fruits like raisins or cranberries after baking for extra sweetness and chewiness.

Tip: Ensure the juice concentrate is fully thawed and smooth before mixing to avoid lumps.
