Ingredients
3 cups unbleached flour
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp allspice
3/4 tsp nutmeg
3/4 cup organic coconut oil*, melted
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
3 tsp baking powder
1 1/4 cups soy milk
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
* Extra virgin coconut oil tends to have more of a coconutty flavor than regular coconut oil, so keep that in mind if you don’t want such a strong coconut flavor. If you don’t like coconut at all, 3/4 cup of margarine will work fine too. If you’d rather stay away from the hydrogenated fats then a great alternative to margarine is Earth Balance Buttery Spread.
Either option can be melted on the stovetop over low heat or in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time until liquid.
