Notes

• For a carrot cake variation, add grated carrot, Greek yogurt, and cinnamon.
• For a protein boost, add peanut butter to the mixture.
• You can use fresh or frozen berries, but frozen ones may make the pielets a bit soggy.
• Experiment with different fruit combinations like apple, pear, blueberries, blackberries, or raspberries.
• For a nutty variation, try adding cashew or almond butter.
• The pielets hold together better if you put a bit of butter in the bun tins before adding the mixture.
