Notes
- Add-ins: Stir in chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit for extra flavor and texture.
- Sweeteners: Swap honey or maple syrup for a sugar substitute like stevia or erythritol for a lower-sugar version.
- Flavor Twist: Add a teaspoon of instant coffee or a pinch of cinnamon to enhance the chocolate flavor.
- Vegan Option: Replace eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flax + 2 tablespoons water) and use a dairy-free alternative for the cottage cheese.
