Can this be made with a plant based protein powder?
Im not sure. I have never used plant protein one time in my life 🤷♂️
Can you use liquid egg whites?
yup
Hi, Quick question. It says 2 tbsp (10 g) cocoa powder, but 2tbsp is equal to 28.3 grams. Which one should we follow? 2tbsp or the 10g?
10g
Is there a substitute for apple sauce?
I used Greek yogurt, worked great
