optional ideas

​

nuts

raisins

butterscotch chips

small chopped pieces of apple

banana chunks

dried fruit

grated carrot

just about anything you can imagine. 

​

We made a cream cheese icing to go with this. I am also listing a plain version in case you don't like cream cheese. (but it's not as good as the cream cheese....just sayin)

​

Yummy Cream Cheese Icing

1 Tbs Cheese

1.5 Tbs powdered sugar

1/2 tsp lemon juice

1 tsp vanilla

​

Icing
3 powdered sugar (use more if you want it thicker)
1/4 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp milk or cream.

 

just a note - you could use lemon juice instead of milk if you want a tart glaze. If you do, try a bit of lemon zest as well for a kick.
