Tip
1. For vegan alternative, replace the butter with 60g oil of choice (e.g. coconut oil)
2. For vegan diet, replace the egg with 60-70g ripe banana. You can cut back the sugar to 150g if using banana.
3. It is easier to empty the mixture from the TM bowl into another bowl and spoon it into the moulds with the help of a spatula. Walnuts, if using, can be folded in at this stage in place of step 7.
4. Serve plain, dusted with icing sugar once completely cooled, or with slightly sweetened cream cheese icing.
5. This recipe is low in FODMAPs
