My kids love chocolate. I think most kids do, wouldn’t you agree? I had some chocolate chips I wanted to get rid of in my pantry, so I thought of making these Chocolate Chip Buns. They are perfect for breakfast, and even more so to give to kids to eat at school. I am always looking for ideas to fill their lunchboxes with healthier than store-bought options. And these buns are somewhat low in fat and sugar, definitely more so than snack you buy outside. I am happy to report that they loved the buns and have requested another batch! Try this recipe and let me know what you think in the comment section. Enjoy!
