Hot Cross Buns: Using freshly baked hot cross buns will work best, but if your buns are a bit stale, they’ll still work well in this recipe as they’ll absorb the mixture nicely.
Protein Powder: Adding protein powder is optional but will boost the protein content. You can use any flavour you like, but vanilla or chocolate work best with this recipe.
Milk Alternatives: Feel free to substitute the splash of milk with any non-dairy alternatives like almond milk, oat milk, or soy milk for a dairy-free option.
Serving Suggestions: This bake is delicious on its own, but you can also top it with a dollop of Greek yoghurt, a drizzle of chocolate sauce or honey, or a sprinkle of extra cinnamon.
Storage: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
Make Ahead: You can prepare the dish in advance and store it in the fridge. Just bake it when you’re ready to serve for a warm and comforting breakfast or snack.
