Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose or flour of choice
- 1 ⅓ cups oat flour
- ½ cup vanilla protein powder (or flavour of choice)
- 1tbsp baking powder

Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 450F, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- In another bowl, mix the apple sauce, plant milk, apple cider vinegar and vanilla extract. Pout into flour mixture. Add cold grated coconut oil – mix until it comes together. Do not overwork – dough should be on the soft, almost sticky!
- Toss blueberries with 1 tbsp of flour to coat. Fold into dough.
- Put dough onto baking pan, dust with a small amount of flour, gently shape into a circle. Cut into 10 equal pieces. Bake for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown, crisp on the outside.

NOTE:
Coconut oil must be solid, NOT soft. Put in freezer for 30 minutes, for easier grating.
