Okay so I'm totally going to admit that these creations were not at all intended to be what they ended up being.
(Did somebody say a "gluten & grain free cinnamon bun disaster," yeah that happened)
I decided upon the "life hands you lemons, make lemonade" concept and came up with these little
guys instead
(ditching the whole batch of precious ingredients was simply not an option!)
So here they are, still packed with protein, healthy fats and definitely grain, gluten and sugar free!
