Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 350F
2) Add dates w/water, flax & water mixture, quinoa and apple to your blender and puree until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and blend again. You may need to add some water or plant milk if it's too dry.
3) Transfer batter to a baking dish lined with parchment paper.
4) Top with coconut butter chunks.
5) Bake for 45-50 min. (you can make these into muffins/cupcakes as well, but bake them for less time. IDK how long, I've never done that...but you can try it and let me know ;)
6) Allow to cool for at least 30 min (good luck)
