  • 1/ 2 cup apple sauce
  • 1/ 2 cup coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons date syrup
  • 1 tablespoons vanilla paste

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/ 2 cup walnuts
  • 1/ 2 cup macadamia nuts

Method

  • Step 1

    Take 2 mixing bowls: One to mix all dry ingredients and on the second one to mix the wet ingredients.

  • Step 2

    Add dry ingredient mix into wet ingredients mixture, integrate little by little using a spatula (avoid using a whisk)

  • Step 3

    Once everything is well combined add mix into your baking mold ( add parchment paper on the bottom of your mold so its easier to take out once is baked) a 8 x 8 inch square mold works great.

  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon date syrup
  • 4 tablespoons monk fruit powdered ( lakanto)

Coconut vanilla frosting
