Key Ingredients
Brand matters when it comes to our ingredients! For our dark chocolate chips, we recommend using high-quality options like Guittard or Scharffen Berger. As for our oats, we prefer using rolled oats for their ease of use and better texture.
As for the balance of sweet and sugar, our brown sugar provides a depth of flavor. Don’t be afraid to use a mix of both white and brown sugar, as it adds a depth of flavor.
When using unsalted butter, be sure to use a high-quality option, as it makes all the difference in this recipe. Packaged under the label of real, churned butter will generally be the best choice for baking.
Whether it’s mixing with cream or cooking for frying, you can’t go wrong with quality over other brands.
Our granulated sugar is from Domino.
