- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 2 cups gluten-free flour blend* (220 – 230 g)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar. Add the melted coconut oil, vanilla, and molasses. Whisk for 2 minutes until creamy.
