These small bite-sized treats are fantastic for enjoying periodically throughout the day or even as a light lunch. The ingredients list is super simple as is the method, so there’s no need for worrying about complications.
You can serve several of these up on a plate with a fresh garden salad or you can pop them in the freezer to enjoy over the coming weeks. They’re a great make-ahead meal for those looking to save on buying fresh foods but they also taste fantastic straight out of the oven. So whichever way you eat them, enjoy!
