2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
- Take a large mixing bowl. Sift together all the dry ingredients like the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt.
3. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
- Take another bowl and combine all wet ingredients. Mix the unsweetened applesauce, honey or sugar-free sweetener, orange juice, unsweetened almond milk, olive oil or melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well blended.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually combine both wet and dry mixtures. Stir it only until it’s combined. Be careful not to overmix.
