Chef's Note
Make sure to watch the nuts closely during the last few minutes of baking as they can burn quickly. For variety, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a sweet and spicy version. The protein powder not only boosts the protein content but also adds a nice vanilla flavor and slight sweetness.
