        I would chop an apple and cook it down on the stove, and essentially make applesauce with no added sugar. If you have an apple, please google how to make applesauce. Apple puree - the texture may be off.

        You can use some kind of baby food, like carrot baby food, preferably unsweetened. Else i would substitute a flavorless oil about 1/4 cup, but then it's added fat. 🙂

        Sorry for the delay, Mila. Yes you can, however the texture won't be as light using whole wheat flour. Try it, let me know. 🙂
