Let’s just go with it! These are totally scrumptious and won’t mess with your diet at all! Take a look at the recipe and the macros – they are divine!

Notes
- Does it matter if I use a glass pan? Can I use a non-stick pan? YES! It does matter! For some reason, you get a much more cake-like consistency if you use a glass pan – trust us!
- Store these in the refrigerator or freezer since they do not have preservatives and will spoil if left out.
