Hi Suzanne,
Happy to hear you tried these out and enjoyed! ☺️
Absolutely amazing 🤩!
I just made them for tomorrow and the smell blew me away! This recipe is so versatile, I added more carrots cuz I love them and put in some nutmeg (although I wouldn’t do it again, cinnamon is way better) and I also omitted the chia seeds for smth else and just overall changed the amounts of the ingredients to my liking and I’m so happy I came across your recipe
Hi Viktoria,
So glad you loved this one! Happy to hear you were able to adjust it how you needed. 🫶🏼
Loved this recipe, especially the cinnamon and sugar-free maple syrup! Is it okay to make ahead of time and store for three or four days with the protein powder in them?
