Basics] and swapped chocolate chips for what I had on hand: farmer’s market strawberries and rhubarb I had popped in the freezer earlier this summer.
If you like things sweet, I would suggest using coconut sugar instead of honey or adding 2-4 drops of stevia. The sweetness of the berries and honey was perfect for me, personally.
