FAQs
1. Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can replace all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour. Keep in mind that the texture may be denser.
2. What can I use as an egg substitute?
You can use flaxseed meal (1 tablespoon mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water) or unsweetened applesauce (1/4 cup) as an egg replacement.
3. How do I know when it’s done baking?
Insert a toothpick into the center of the baked treat. If it comes out clean or with just a few crumbs, it’s done. If it has wet batter on it, give it a few more minutes in the oven.
