- Whisk slowly in aquafaba or eggs, one at a time. Until fully incorporated.
- Add the baking soda, cinnamon, half of the flour, and half of the apple cider. Whisk slowly until fully incorporated. Then add the rest of the apple cider and flour and whisk until completely combine. Do not over mix your batter.
