When baking, you can incorporate this mix directly into your doughs and batters. For cookies, simply fold it in during the final mixing stage. In muffins or cakes, distribute it evenly throughout the batter before baking. It can also be sprinkled over finished desserts like pies or parfaits for an extra layer of flavor and visual appeal.
