- ½ tablespoon baking soda
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 cups pure maple syrup
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon cloves
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, dissolve baking soda into the applesauce. Add in oil, maple syrup, eggs, peanut butter, and vanilla. Blend well.
- Add flour, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg in a sifter. Slowly sift dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing lightly as you go. Blend on slow until everything is barely mixed. Incorporate chocolate chips into the batter. Pour the mixture into the 14 x 8.5 pan.
