I love these so much that I always want to have them in the morning. However, I do not want to pay $4 every time I care to enjoy one, so I found this recipe and got to making them at home. I have switched up the recipe many times, too in order to incorporate more things I like, such as chocolate chips! These also freeze very well, so if you are looking for a grab and go breakfast, this would be it!
Just take out of the freezer and pop in the microwave for under a minute and you will have breakfast ready to go in no time! Check out what our friends over at Baking Beauty had to say about this:
