🌾 Ingredients Notes

This recipe is all you need 7 basic elements:

• aquafaba – The liquid from a can of cooked chickpeas (aka chickpea brine) replaces the egg whites in this recipe. It gives the biscuits a light and airy texture without using other leavening agents.
• flour – Use all-purpose flour.
• Cornstarch – The addition of cornstarch makes the ladies lighter and slightly softer.
• sugar – Use granulated white sugar. Although this recipe can work with coconut sugar, I don’t recommend it because it will affect the color and flavor of the ladyfingers.
• Vanilla extract – You can use store bought vanilla extract or homemade vanilla extract. I recommend using high-quality vanilla extract for the best flavor.
• the oil – Since we are not using eggs, we are replacing fat with oil. Use a neutral oil like canola or rapeseed oil.
• apple sauce – Adding applesauce helps the biscuits stay soft a little longer. This helps to create a slightly thicker texture.
• powdered sugar – For dusting. This gives ladyfingers their distinctive look.
