I made a double batch of these this morning – half to eat and half to freeze. Everyone liked them and I’ll definitely make them again!
My son loves these!! And so do I! Do they freeze okay? Do you think I could use half whole wheat flour and half regular flour to make them even healthier?
Rachel… yes and yes 🙂
