Ingredients
  

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 2 cups white whole wheat flour

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • In another bowl, whisk together the sweetener, applesauce, coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
