Notes
This recipe is great for meals, appetizers, or side dishes. They make great quick and healthy dinner ideas. We also have an oversized muffin tin that that size works really great for adults, with a regular muffin tin size working great for kids. If serving as a meal, plan for 4-5 cups per full-grown adult and 2-3 per kiddo (unless they are super hungry). The dough is surprisingly filling!
