Notes

To make gluten-free: use gluten-free flour

To make dairy-free: use dairy-free butter and DF/vegan sprinkles

To make vegan: use a plant-based protein powder, dairy- butter, and vegan-friendly sprinkles

How to store: keep stored in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer until ready to eat.

How To Defrost:

The longer method - transfer to the fridge a couple of hours before ready to eat.

The shorter method - microwave whole container for 15-25 seconds and scoop out however much need! This is what I always do. You still want it chilled and solid and it defrosts pretty fast at room temperature once heated for 15-25 seconds, so I wouldn't recommend much longer that that.

How To Heat Treat Flour:

Heat treating flour is super easy. You just gotta cook it long enough to kill the bacteria. Since this is a no-bake recipe, you’ll also want to make sure the flour has completely cooled before mixing it with the other ingredients. How to heat treat flour:

Oven method: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the flour onto a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes. Then, set aside to cool completely.
Microwave method: Add flour to a microwave safe bowl. Heat in 30 second increments (2-3x), stirring in between to avoid burning. Let the flour cool completely before using.
Check with a thermometer to verify that the temperature is 160-165 degrees F.
Make sure flour is completely cool before using.
