Notes

Substitutions:
  • Gluten-free
    • Substitute your favorite gluten-free flour blend. Add ½ tsp xanthan gum if it is omitted in your blend.
  • Egg-free/Vegan
    • Use any egg substitute.
    • A chia egg works best for this recipe - add 1 Tbsp chia seeds to a small bowl and gently stir in 3 Tbsp water. Let sit for 5 minutes.
    • Other options include a flax egg (1 Tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 Tbsp water), ⅓ cup applesauce, or ¼ cup mashed banana.
  • Alternative sweeteners
    • My go-to is coconut sugar and it is delicious! Experiment with your alternative sweetener of choice.
  • Optional stir-ins
    • What does your family love? Add in ¼-½ cup mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, raisins, oatmeal, or any other mix-in you think they would enjoy.
