Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).

Step 2

Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes.

Step 3

Combine water and flaxseed in a small bowl; set aside to soak, 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 4

Beat coconut oil, white sugar, and brown sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Beat in 1 egg until completely blended. Add remaining 1 egg, flaxseed mixture, and vanilla; beat until smooth.
