📖 Ingredient notes
- Dark chocolate chips. Make sure to check the ingredients: dark chocolate may contain dairy and/or soy. So make sure it is compliant with your own diet restrictions.
- Whole rice flour. Whole rice flour is also called brown rice flour. This flour has a neutral taste (unlike buckwheat flour which tastes pretty strong) that doesn't cover the other ingredients taste.
- Powdered sugar of your choice. You can either use unrefined cane sugar, muscovado, coconut sugar...
- Gluten free baking powder. Again, make sure to check the ingredients before buying your baking powder, as some brands may have gluten in it. So be careful to select gluten free baking powder.

So I'm still using it from time to time.
