Ingredient Substitutions

All-purpose flour can be replaced with whole wheat flour or a gluten-free flour blend for a healthier or gluten-free option. Use the same amount, but expect a slightly denser texture with whole wheat flour. For gluten-free blends, follow the package instructions for proper substitution ratios.

Unsalted butter can be substituted with coconut oil or a plant-based butter alternative for a dairy-free version. Use the same amount, but note that coconut oil may impart a subtle coconut flavor. If using salted butter instead, reduce or omit the added salt in the recipe.

White and brown sugars can be replaced with coconut sugar or a sugar substitute like erythritol for a lower glycemic index option. Use slightly less coconut sugar as it’s sweeter than regular sugar. For sugar substitutes, follow the package instructions for proper conversion ratios, as sweetness levels vary.
