Comments:

I love to eat these in the car! Pull the individually wrapped buns out of the oven and place in a paper bag. Pass them around the van when it's time to eat. They're an easy, inexpensive, healthier-than-fast-food, hot meal.

Note: You can stretch the mixture to fill 16 buns, but the nutritional information will not match.
