Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter instead of oleo. You can also experiment with different types of chips, like white chocolate or caramel, to customize the taste. If you need a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend instead of self-rising flour. Make sure to mix the batter gently to keep the bread light and airy.
