Ingredients

• 1 c (84g) SunWarrior Vanilla Protein Powder
• 1/2 c (40g) rolled oats
• 1/2 c (56g) almond flour
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 c + 2tbs stevia*
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 2 tsp almond extract
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 c + 1tbs coconut milk
• 1 medium apple, diced or shredded (mine was about 160g)
• 1/2 oz (14g) sliced almonds
• Adjust the stevia to your desired level of sweetness. I used 1/4c + 2tbs and it was barely sweet enough, which I liked! But if you like things sweeter, I would increase this amount.
