Notes
I mixed all my ingredients in one bowl, but I would recommend separating your dry and wet ingredients first and then combine them. This just allows the ingredients to mix out properly.
Also, my coconut oil was not melted and was a bit clumpy to mix. I would recommend using melted coconut oil.
