Notes
- you may use other flour like oat flour in place of the whole meal flour
- use any other oil in place of coconut oil
- swap the honey for maple syrup or agave
- store on your kitchen counter covered for 2 days or in the fridge for up to one week
- For a vegan option sub each egg with either one of the following: 1 tablespoon of chia seeds with 3 tablespoons of water, 1 tablespoon of ground flax seed with 3 tablespoons of water, 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder, and 3 tablespoons water, 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1/4 cup mashed banana, and swap the honey with maple syrup or agave.
