Made these and added a banana instead of sweetner did regular Choco chips cause it’s what I had and they still came out awesome.
Can you use fat free cottage cheese?
Made these as dessert tonight. I didn’t have monk fruit sweetener on hand so I had to use regular sugar. These were tasty. I’ll definitely make them again to try with monk fruit sweetener
