If you're curious about or new to plant-based cooking, you might not know where to start when it comes to baking. Baking often requires eggs, butter, or milk - all of which are animal products. 

In this recipe, we're:

• replacing eggs with aquafaba (in the vegan version). Aquafaba is the liquid from cooked chickpeas (or other beans). Obtaining it is as simple as opening up a can of beans. For detailed information, see Aquafaba: The Easy Vegan Egg Replacer.
• replacing butter with avocado, which has a high fat content compared to other fruits.

We've kept some ingredients that you're familiar with:

• white flour. White flour is made from wheat and is therefore plant-based. However, some plant-based diets (for example whole food plant-based diets) avoid white flour, as the refining process impacts its nutritional value.
• white sugar. Some companies process white sugar using bone char, which means that the white sugar is not always vegan. Check the label or call the sugar manufacturer if this is a concern for you.
• white chocolate chips. There are a few brands of plant-based white chocolate chips. Be sure to check the label.
