Start by preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Make the egg substitute by mixing together the ground flaxseeds and warm water. Mix well and then set aside and let the mixture thicken.
In a mixing bowl, mix together the melted coconut oil, date sugar, and vanilla extract.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, oat flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
Add the flax egg substitute to the wet mix until combined.
