Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons oil (avocado oil recommended)
- 3/4 cup plant-based milk
- 1/3 cup creamy natural peanut butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 homemade egg substitute (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
