I’ve been baking a lot again (I go in waves) and the girls always want to lick the spoon when I’m making the dough. The trouble is, it has raw egg and flour, and sometimes other raw ingredients in it so I don’t want them eating it before it’s cooked.
So my friend Amy told me about this recipe from Eating Well and I knew the girls would just love it. Spoiler, they do! They come together really quickly and keep in the freezer perfectly! These fit in lunchboxes perfectly and are jam packed with protein. They really are the perfect snack!
