Using buckwheat gives these fragrant gems a nutty heartiness I enjoy. If you don’t care for buckwheat, use your own favorite gluten-free flour blend for the 1 and ½ cups flour in this recipe.
Whisk together the dry ingredients:
¾ cup buckwheat flour
½ cup sorghum or rice flour
¼ cup tapioca starch/flour
1½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon allspice
In a separate mixing bowl beat together:
1 cup natural applesauce
⅓ cup light olive oil
1 cup organic brown sugar- or ½ cup raw agave nectar
2 teaspoons bourbon vanilla
Egg Replacer for 2 large eggs
4 tablespoons apple juice, more as needed
1½ cups chopped fresh apple
½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts, optional
