Bob's Red Mill, Coconut Flour, 1 lb - 1 tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
- 5 tbsp organic maple syrup
- 2 tsp coconut oil
- 4 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Add the chopped apples, ¾ tsp. of cinnamon, and the 4 tsp. of coconut oil to a pan on medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring regularly. Move to a bowl and then let cool (about 10 minutes).
- Meanwhile, mix almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, salt, and the rest of the cinnamon in another large bowl. Whisk until fully mixed.
- Once the apples have cooled, add maple syrup, 2 tsp. of coconut oil, and the vanilla extract to the cooked apples. Mix fully.
- Make a well in the middle of the dried ingredients by pushing the flour up to the sides. Pour the wet ingredients into the middle and then begin stirring gently. At first, the dough will seem too dry, but keep working it until it becomes a bit sticky and fully mixed.
- Break the dough into two piece and place one piece in another bowl. Cover both pieces with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Put parchment paper over the backing sheets before adding the dough. Roll the dough into firm balls about an inch wide, maybe a little more. Press each down gently with the palm of your handing, causing the dough to flatten a bit.
- Bake on 350° Fahrenheit for 12 minutes or until baked fully. Let cool and then serve!
