Just that really.....I know uncooked they do all sorts of lovely things to my gut... but cooked, in a custard or cake - is there any benefit left?

From a Google search

‘Does cooking kill the bacteria in kefir?
Milk kefir contains beneficial bacteria, which can help to break down or predigest different ingredient or foods. Once cooked, the bacteria will be killed’

‘Most bacteria will die when heated past a certain temperature. Yogurt is made by heating, cooling and then fermenting milk using healthy streptococcus and lactobacillus bacteria. The final product can be consumed hot or cold. However, if heated past a certain point, the bacteria in yogurt will die’
‘The healthy bacteria in yogurt will die if exposed to temperatures above 130 F (54.4 C)’
