Good. Used dried blueberries instead of raisins. Thanks for the healthy spa recipes.
I make these every Sunday, and we enjoy them at home, and then I make extras to take to work on Mondays to reward the team who showed up and kept things running. Everyone likes them, especially after a minute or two in the air fryer, which is toastier than a microwave. Good with apple or fig butter.
Commenting on my favorite spa recipes! This one is easy and good. Good breakfast. Travels well.
Easy and tasty
