The consistency of these are more like a cake donut, they were very good!

These are really good and quick to make! One note…make sure to scoop them no larger than the tablespoon, maybe a little smaller. They may not cook through in the center, and who wants their day ruined by that? Delicious for breakfast with a cup of coffee! My daughters put a little powdered sugar on theirs and it was tasty too. Thanks for sharing!
