    Variations

    This recipe may not taste as sweet as those containing sugar. We think it’s a great way to retrain your taste buds to enjoy a less sweet taste. If you prefer more sweetness, however, experiment with adding a little stevia to taste to the mixture.

    Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free self-raising flour. Check cinnamon and chocolate chips are gluten free.
