I made this into muffins instead by leaving them in the oven for about 18 minutes. This recipe is not sweet, and the batter has a nice spring to it.

We ran out of eggs so threw in our « chia pudding » 1/4 cup chia seeds mixed with apple juice overnight. We then grated in some apples to also pump up the fibre. We reduced the sugar since the recipe was already a bit on the sweet side.

This is very easy and quick to make. I reduce the sugar to 3/4 cup. To substitute the cake flour, I put 4T. cornstarch in a 2 1/2 cup container. I then fill the container with all purpose flour. Sift with 1 tsp. cinnamon.
