Serve warm with vanilla yogurt or ice cream for best results.

If using frozen fruit, ensure it is thoroughly thawed and drained before mixing to prevent a watery filling. You may need to increase baking time by 5-10 minutes.

For a gluten-free version, substitute the flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend and ensure the wheat germ is certified gluten-free.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
