Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 cup applesauce
  • 1/4 cup neutral oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 170°C (325°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, vanilla protein powder, sugar, and baking powder.
  3. In another bowl, mix applesauce, oil, and vanilla until smooth. Combine the wet mixture with the dry ingredients until a dough forms.
