TURMERIC:
- We add turmeric, as it will provide strong anti-inflammatory benefits and color. You can replace it with ginger powder or a curry spice blend.
EGGS:
- We use eggs to bind the dough and add protein. As a replacement, utilize the flax eggs.
APPLE CIDER VINEGAR:
- We utilize apple cider vinegar, which will help activate baking powder and improve texture. You can switch it out with lemon juice.
