Breakfast Squares

This cake-like bread makes a nice dessert or can be served with breakfast. Tastes great as is, or with a little jam on top.

Dry Ingredients:

• 1 cup gluten-free almond meal flour
• 1/2 cup gluten-free brown rice flour
• 1/2 cup gluten-free white sorghum flour
• 1/2 cup gluten-free garbanzo flour
• 1 teaspoons aluminum-free baking powder
• 1 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spic

Wet Ingredients:

• 2 Flax Seed ‘Eggs’ (2 tablespoon ground flax seed mixed in 6 tablespoons water)
• 3/4 cup apple sauce, unsweetened
• 1/2 cup 100% pure maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon avocado oil
• 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients to combine and aerate. Set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, make the flax seed ‘eggs’ by mixing 2 tablespoons of ground flax seeds in 6 tablespoons of filtered water. Let sit 3 minutes or until goopy. Mix in the remaining wet ingredients.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry. Using a large wooden spoon, mix until well combined. Let sit for 5 minutes to allow the ingredients to fully meld.
4. Use a spoon to scoop batter into a 6-inch by 10-inch parchment paper lined baking pan. Use the back of the spoon to evenly distribute and smooth out the top.
5. Bake in a preheated 350º F oven for 40 minutes or until golden brown and an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Let completely cool. Slice into 2-inch squares and serve. If serving with jam, you might try our recipe for Strawberry Jam. Stores refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Variations:

1. For a cinnamon apple flavor, add 2 teaspoons of cinnamon to the dry ingredients. Also peel, core, and finely chop 1 medium apple and add it to the batter. Mix well before scooping the batter into the baking pan.
2. For added sweetness, sprinkle coconut sugar over the top before serving.
