Notes

This comes in at about 29g protein per serve, but if you wanted to increase your protein a little more, you can serve with a dollop of natural greek yoghurt and/ or add 1/2 – 1 scoop protein powder to dry ingredients, prior to mixing with wet ingredients. 
Once cooled completely, these will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
