  • Mix through the flour, baking soda, baking powder and chocolate chips and mix until all combined.

  • Press the mixture into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for around 25-30 minutes.

Notes

  • You can bake this in a 7"x11" pan to make this bigger and to get more slices. Just reduce the cooking time by a few minutes.
