Notes
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container with a paper towel under them to absorb any moisture. They will keep well at room temperature for 2 to 3 days and in the fridge for up to 5.
Freezing Instructions: Freeze them solid on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer bag or container. They will keep well frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw them at room temperature to enjoy.
Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However here are some common substitutes that would work well in this recipe.
- Substitute the egg for a flax egg and use a plant-based yogurt to make it vegan.
- To make this gluten-free, use an all-purpose gluten-free flour mix. Do not substitute only almond flour or only coconut flour.
