Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar

• 2 eggs

• 1/4 cup vegetable oil

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

3. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, vegetable oil, and maple syrup until combined.

4. Pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients and knead until a dough forms.

5. Divide the dough into two portions, placing each in a separate bowl.

6. Add 1 teaspoon blue spirulina powder to one portion and knead until fully combined.

7. Add 1 tablespoon pink pitaya powder to the other portion and knead until fully combined.

8. Knead each dough on a flat surface (preferably on a large sheet of parchment paper) to prevent sticking.
