Incredible!
These are OUTSTANDING! I had to sub unsweetened applesauce for the juice and reduced the syrups in half (my own preference on sweetness level). Just when you think having something high in protein, soft and yummy wasn't possible without the calories of flour. Everyone has to make these. Thanks Gem!

I had a hard time finding the coffee syrups. I had to improvise and only use sugar free vanilla so I think it's missing a little taste. But I still think they're great and I have enough stuff ready to make another batch!

You can buy the coffee flavors from a Cash N Carry (WA State) or other restaurant supplier/grocery store. Caramel, Raspberry, Vanilla and Hazelnut can be purchased in the coffee section of any grocery store.
