Yet another of my ‘baby’s’ spectacular creation. He found this recipe in his Kids cookbook. Simple to make with simple ingredients available at home. Soft pillow like inside with a light crisp crust.
All it needs is flour – we used whole wheat ultra-grain flour, apple sauce, orange juice and flaxmeal to give it the softness. Fat in the form of butter and olive oil. Keep it vegan by using vegan butter or using olive oil completely – both versions work very well with no difference in texture.
Mix dry ingredients, mix wet ingredients… the usual 3 steps… pour n bake. DONE !!
Let it sit out to complete the cooking process, this step is critical.
We got a beautiful crust and soft chewy interior. We cut them into 1 inch squares to keep them bite sized and before we knew it several pieces were flying out of our counter 😉
Another guilt-free indulgence to enjoy and the pleasure to see your family and friends embark into sheer bliss 🙂
