Gather Your Ingredients All you need is all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, oil (coconut or vegetable), sugar, vanilla extract, and an egg. Simple and accessible!

Mix flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, blend oil and sugar, then add vanilla and an egg. Combine with dry ingredients to form your dough.
