Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour (you can substitute with regular flour for a whiter dough)
  • 2 cups rolled oat flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350º

Combine all ingredients in food processor or stand mixer. Add flour as necessary until dough is no longer sticky and is ready to roll out.

For different colored dough, divide into separate bowls and add natural food coloring.

Keep dough covered to prevent drying between batches. You can rehydrate dough with a little coconut oil as needed.

Bake at 350º for 20 minutes and let cool before serving.

Notes

This dough refrigerates up to a week, and freezes for 3 months.
