Another find from Pinterest!
Once again, the original recipe here wasn’t vegan but eggs are no match for Ener-G (or flaxseed meal, if that’s how you roll).
I made these last weekend, promptly ate too many at once and got sick. As long as you can control yourself, you should have no trouble enjoying these.
