Notes

Storing leftovers: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 6 days or freeze for up to 4 months.
Allergies: For a dairy-free version: Swap butter with coconut oil and yoghurt with coconut, soy or oat yoghurt. For a gluten-free version: Swap wholemeal spelt flour with a gluten-free flour blend. For an egg-free version: Swap egg for a store-bought egg replacer or use a flax egg (1 egg = 1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp water) or chia egg (1 egg = 1 tbsp chia seed meal + 3 tbsp water).
Easy ingredient swaps: Swap blueberries for berries of choice.
Baby-friendly version: Leave out coconut sugar and add 3-4 Medjool dates to the batter before processing.
