4. Optional Add-Ins
If you want to add some extra flavor and texture, fold in the chopped walnuts and raisins (or dried cranberries). These add a nice crunch and sweetness, but feel free to leave them out for a simpler version.

Allow the breakfast bake to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
