- ⅓ cup (110 g) honey
- ¼ cup (60 ml) neutral vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions

- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- In another bowl, combine applesauce, Greek yogurt, honey, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
