  • Step-by-Step Instructions

Method
 

  1. Start by combining all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl: whole wheat flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk them together to ensure an even mix.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until combined. The batter should be slightly thick but not overly dense. Avoid overmixing.
Add the Apples
  1. Fold the diced apples into the batter until evenly incorporated. These apples will add natural sweetness and moisture, making each bite flavorful.
