Notes
See above notes for freezing.
If using flax eggs to replace regular eggs, combine in a separate bowl first to 'gel' while preparing other ingredients.
If dairy free, I recommended using dairy free chocolate chips like Enjoy Life brand.
Want to make muffins? Bake at 350F for 20-25 minutes or until toothpick runs clear.
