Absolutely delicious !!!
These are super easy, super delicious, a d super moist! Great recipe! And my chocolate lover 7 yesr old is a fan too!!!
These are perfect for satisfying my chocolate cravings guilt-free! I love that it incorporates clean ingredients but is still delicious. My now go-to breakfast! Thanks, Sarah!!
Do you think adding some baking cocoa to unflavored and unsweetened hemp seed protein powder would work instead of the chocolate power? I’m assuming it is 1/4 CUP of maple syrup? It’s the only measurement for 1/4 that makes sense to me there. – Thank you!!
It should work fine. Also, thank you for catching that!
