Notes
I love having lots of chocolate chips in every bite, but you could definitely cut back to ¾ cup if you want to limit the morning chocolate consumption.
I’ve used honey here but you can sub maple syrup for a vegan option.
To make vegan, use maple syrup in place of honey, a flax egg in place of the egg, a vegan butter substitute or coconut oil and vegan chocolate chips.
Serving a crowd? Just double the recipe and bake it in a 9x13 inch pan. You won’t be sorry if you have leftovers.
You can keep leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze them for up to 3 months.
