A pinch of flaky sea salt at the end ties everything together with that perfect sweet-and-savory contrast. For anyone navigating tree nut sensitivities around cashews specifically, this recipe is a clean, straightforward option ā walnuts are the only nut in play, and every ingredient is simple and easy to verify. It works beautifully as a high-protein breakfast, a quick afternoon snack, or even a light dessert when you want something that feels a little special without any real effort.
