To properly use chia seeds as an egg substitute, more liquid needs to added to the recipe. The ratio is for every 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, add 3 tablespoons of additional liquid. I did this and the recipe turned out well. Also, adding a teaspoon of cinnamon enhanced the flavor of the chocolate. Additionally, we were out of chocolate chips, so we used butterscotch chips as a fun and colorful substitute.
