| I often double this recipe, cook them all, then freeze half. Lay on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then toss into a freezer container. You can pull out as many as you want at a time (watch out - the kids will start taking them as microwavable snacks!) These can be gluten-free by using gluten-free panko.
