Recipe Note

These are perfect for kids school snacks. Freeze them and pull one or two out to pop in their snack container. You'll know you are sending some protein and fiber and not too much sugar. The small amount of chocolate chips just on the top make them feel like they're getting a treat! My kids and their classmates give them 5 stars!
