  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger

Notes

For a gluten-free version, use the same amount of gluten-free flour in place of the whole wheat and whole white flour combined (1 1/2 cups).

For a vegan option, use an egg replacer in place of eggs and a dairy-free vegan butter or coconut oil in place of butter.

If you have a nut allergy, omit the walnuts and double-check your ingredients, such as the flaxseed to verify ingredients were not processed in a nut-containing facility. Pumpkin seeds and chocolate chips are also a tasty substitute.
