Why You’ll Love It

  • Elite protein source: Each slice is powered by PEScience Select® Snickerdoodle (or Gourmet Vanilla) for a full spectrum of whey‑casein benefits, fast and sustained digestion.
  • Lower‑carb, lower‑sugar: Coconut flour and sugar‑free pudding mix keep carbs in check while locking in moisture.
  • Gym‑bag ready: Bake tonight, wrap a square, and you’ve got a grab‑and‑go post‑workout treat tomorrow.

Pro Tips from Team PEScience

  • Texture tweak: Prefer a denser crumb? Replace 60 g of egg whites with 60 g of Greek yogurt.
  • Flavor flip: Sub in Gourmet Vanilla protein and add a dash of nutmeg for a classic coffee‑cake vibe.
  • Make‑ahead magic: Wrap individual squares in foil and freeze. Microwave 20 seconds for a warm, cinnamon‑sugar fix anytime.
