For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg or ginger to the dry ingredients.
Toasting the walnuts before adding them to the batter enhances their flavor and adds a pleasant crunch.
These bars are even better the next day, as the flavors have had time to meld together. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
For a richer flavor, substitute brown sugar for half of the granulated sugar.
Feel free to experiment with different nuts, such as pecans or almonds, or add chocolate chips for an extra touch of indulgence.
