Notes
*Or any citrus juice, they are delish with regular orange juice or lemon too!
**You can use maple syrup or honey, but I prefer the neutral flavor of agave to not overpower the citrus.
***Or two flax eggs (2 tbsp ground flax + 6 tbsp water), but they won’t be as light/fluffy.
****Or for a refined sugar free glaze, try this recipe instead with blood orange juice.
