- Mix all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, cloves, nutmeg, allspice, ground ginger, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl.

Love these. I regularly send these in my kids lunches and it’s one of their favourites. I only use cinnamon when I am making them for the kids.
