- 1 ¼ cups milk (whole milk recommended)
- 2 tablespoons honey (or pure maple syrup)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat and set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; whisk until blended.
- In another bowl, mix eggs, applesauce, milk, honey, and vanilla. Slowly whisk in the melted butter.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients; stir gently until just combined (some lumps are fine).
