Notes

  1. To make a flax egg, stir together 1 tbsp (7 g) flax seed meal and 3 tbsp water and let it sit and thicken for 5 minutes.
  2. Here's a link to the junior loaf pan I like to use.
  3. If you want to make a homemade mini-batch frosting, whisk together 3 tbsp powder sugar (20 g) with 1 tbsp softened (plant) butter or cream cheese (15 g), add a drop of milk or more powder sugar to bring to the desired consistency. Enjoy!
