Use coconut oil or a plant-based butter alternative for a dairy-free version while maintaining a rich flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. Reheat with a splash of water or milk to restore creaminess.

Reduce the portion size and balance with high-protein toppings like nuts or Greek yogurt to lower the carb impact per serving.
Reheat slowly on the stovetop with a little water, milk, or broth, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Absolutely! Try mixing in rolled oats or quinoa for extra texture and nutrition—adjust liquid ratios as needed.
