Notes
Storing leftovers: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days or freeze for up to 4 months.
Prep tips: To reduce prep time, place dough between 2 sheets of baking paper and using a rolling pin, roll out into a rectangle approx. 0.5 cm thickness. Take top baking sheet off and cut into squares.
Allergies: For a gluten-free version: Swap wholemeal spelt flour for brown rice flour or a gluten-free flour mix. For a dairy-free version: Swap natural yoghurt for natural soy, coconut or oat yoghurt.
Easy ingredient swaps: Swap maple syrup for raw honey.
Additional boosters: Add ¼ cup of seed meal to the mix before combining.
For fussy eaters: Roll out dough and use cookie cutters to create fun shapes.
