The inclusion of chocolate chips in moderation satisfies your cravings without overloading calories. Baking the Bahulu instead of frying further reduces fat content, supporting weight management.

Bahulu Chocolate Chip is packed with protein from eggs and healthy fats from santan (coconut milk) and vegetable oil. The moderate sugar content keeps this treat lighter than most Western cakes.
