Notes
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container with a paper towel under them to absorb any moisture for up to 3 days. They are best served warm and the same day.
Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However here are some common substitutes that would work well in this recipe.
- Substitute the Greek yogurt with milk
- Substitute the egg for a flax egg to make it vegan.
- Substitute the coconut sugar with any other granulated sugar.
- Substitute the applesauce with butter, coconut oil or any neutral oil.
- To make this gluten-free, use an all-purpose gluten-free flour mix. Do not substitute only almond flour or only coconut flour.
