Preparation
Chef’s notes
VEGAN – To make vegan, replace the eggs with two flax eggs. Mix 2 tbsp ground flax with 5 tbsp water. Let it sit for 10 minutes to gel and thicken before use. Replace the yogurt with coconut cream (the thick substance at the top of a can of full fat coconut milk), the oil with melted coconut oil, and the chocolate chips with vegan chocolate chips such as Enjoy Life. Bake for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean. It will turn out a bit more dense, but still just as delicious.
CHOCOLATE CHIPS – I prefer mini chocolate chips, but you can use any kind you like.
