In another medium bowl, combine the coconut oil, brown sugar, spices, vanilla, apple juice and soy milk.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients along with the flax egg. Whisk until the mixture resembles pancake batter then let it rest for 5 mins.

STEP 5

MAKE THE TOPPING

Combine the compote ingredients into a small pot over medium-high heat. Stir until the crisp apple mixture softens.

PRO TIP

To reduce the lumps in your batter, first mix your dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately. Then make a well in the dry mixture, pour in the wet ingredients & stir a few times. Be gentle & don't overmix!
