I altered the recipe a bit and exchanged two tablespoons of the water in the syrup for 2 tablespoons of rose water, I also replaced the rice syrup with a mixture of medjool dates, blended, and maple syrup. 🍁

Missing Yiayia's warming baklava? We've got just the thing for you! Our IQS-ified version of this classic comfort dessert is loaded with all of those nostalgic flavours, minus the excessive dose of sugar. Nothing but real, wholesome ingredients - and trust us, the relatives won't even notice!
1 package of phyllo dough (about 16-18 sheets), thawed according to package instructions. NOTE: Be sure to check the ingredients of your dough to ensure there are no added sugars or preservatives.
1 ½ cups walnuts, finely chopped
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish with a little bit of melted butter. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped nuts and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
Unroll the phyllo dough and cover it with a slightly damp kitchen towel to prevent it from drying out. Take one sheet of phyllo dough and place it in the greased baking dish, brush it with melted butter using a pastry brush. Repeat this step with another sheet of phyllo dough, placing it on top of the first sheet and brushing it with melted butter.
