Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/2 cup whole wheat flour. 1/2 cup brown sugar. 1 teaspoon baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted. 1/4 cup maple syrup. 1/4 cup almond milk. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

Instructions: Preheat the oven to 350F 175C. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness.
