Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 1 cup white whole wheat flour

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 tablespoons white sugar

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup canola oil

  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ½ cup plain coconut milk yogurt

Directions

  1. Stir together flours, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Stir together coconut milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla in another bowl.

  2. Make a well in the flour mixture and pour in the egg mixture all at once. Stir just until moistened. (Batter will be slightly lumpy.)
