Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ cup ground flax
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup 100% maple syrup
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 cups almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 4 tablespoons chia seeds

Instructions

  • Mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, flax, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Mix together maple syrup, applesauce, milk, lemon juice and zest in a separate bowl.
  • Pur milk mixture into flour mixture and stir until just combined being careful not to over mix. The batter will be thick.
  • Add chia seeds and stir to combine.
