Notes
*You can substitute the vanilla Greek yogurt for other flavors (I’ve used vanilla, plain, salted caramel, and chocolate); it doesn’t seem to affect the flavor much at all.
*Regular or cinnamon applesauce would work too
*You can also substitute regular-sized chocolate chips in for the mini’s; I use mini as they disperse better and there’s a chip in each bite!
