Notes

Store leftovers in airtight container for 5 days or freezer for longer

*Sub dairy-free/vegan if needed. You can also use 1/2 cup of SOLIDIFIED coconut oil. Melt it to liquid form then let it cool for a bit (measure before melting)

*Can sub cane sugar or date sugar but not honey or maple syrup (no liquid sweeter)

*I haven’t tested flax egg but it should work too

*Can sub spelt flour or wheat flour if not gf but I haven’t tested any others
