Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs (room temp)

Notes

You may use all brown sugar in place of the coconut sugar. If doing so, reduce baking time by a few minutes. 
Eggs can be replaced by using flax eggs. Combine 1 tbsp of flax meal for each egg with 2 1/2 tablespoons of water. Allow mixture to set for 3-5 minutes while it thickens.
