You can easily double these babies, freeze them and be ready for any breakfast scenario. They wouldn't need more that 10 minutes on the counter to thaw. So easy and convenient.
Late Sunday morning breakfast? BAM! Early school morning breakfast? BAM! Late night snack because you couldn't wait for breakfast? BAM!
One caveat: dip them right before eating. I would freeze sans glaze. But you do what you want. OMT! ain't the boss of you.
Happy Baking!
