Notes

  • If you do not have peanut butter, you can use any other nut butter.
  • Swap the chocolate chips with nuts like walnuts or pecans.
  • Any flour will work, like whole wheat ot oat flour. You can use a combination of two different flours.
  • Any sugar works. To cut down on the calories, you can use low-calorie sugar substitutes.
  • To make it vegan: Use dairy-free chocolate chips, plant-based yogurt, and swap the 2 eggs with 2 tablespoons of ground flax mixed with 4 tbsp of water.
