Ingredients:
• 1.5 cup super fine natural almond flour (you can also use rye flour, whole wheat flour or another flour of your choice)
• 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
• 2 tea spoons baking powder
• 2 table spoons flax seeds
• 1 tea spoon chia seeds
• 1 table spoon wheat germ
• ½ cup – 1 cup chopped raw walnuts (I prefer a full cup for health + taste benefits!)
• 1 organic peach finely chopped
• 1 organic apple finely chopped (I recommend pink lady apples)
• 2 eggs
• ¼ cup olive oil
• ½ cup pure maple syrup
• ½ cup almond milk, or another milk of your choice
· 1 tea spoon organic ground cinnamon
· ¼ tea spoon ground nutmeg
· 1 teaspoon ginger
(Variation: instead of apples and peaches, for a high dose of antioxidants, you can prepare a berry mix: 1 cup of goji berry, cranberry and blueberry mixed in equal parts or as desired with the option of adding ½ cup of semi-sweet dark chocolate chips. The higher the cacao content, the better.)
