Delicious Sugar-Free Pastry Recipe for December

Begin by sifting the *whole wheat flour*, *almond flour*, *baking powder*, and a *pinch of salt* into a mixing bowl. This will help incorporate air and ensure the dry ingredients are well combined.

Set this mixture aside while you prepare the wet ingredients.

In a separate bowl, combine the *unsweetened applesauce*, *melted coconut oil*, *vanilla extract*, and *almond milk*. Whisk the mixture until it is smooth and well-blended.

This base will add moisture and a lovely flavor to your pastry.

Now, add the wet mixture to the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Stir gently until everything is *just combined*. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in denser pastries.

If you like, fold in the *chopped nuts* and/or *dark chocolate chips* at this point for added flavor and texture.

Preheat your oven to *180 degrees Celsius* (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Grease your baking pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Transfer the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top evenly. Bake for *25 to 30 minutes* or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on it towards the end of the baking time.

Once baked, remove the pastry from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about *10 minutes*. After that, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once cooled, slice and enjoy your *delicious sugar-free pastry* during this lovely December season!
