Notes
- Baking Powder Alternative: If you would like to make your own baking powder to avoid corn and aluminum, see my Homemade Corn and Aluminum-Free Baking Powder.
- Sweetener Options: Any healthy granulated or liquid sweetener will work instead of xylitol. You may need to change the amount if using a liquid sweetener, so see How to Substitute Sweeteners.
- Egg Alternatives: You can use an equivalent egg substitute like my Powdered Egg Replacer instead of eggs.
- Dairy-free Option: For a dairy-free option, you can substitute the buttermilk with 1 tablespoon organic lemon juice or vinegar plus an additional milk substitute to equal the amount of liquid needed.
- Molasses Alternative: You can use additional candida-friendly sweetener instead of molasses if desired. However, the molasses adds to the depth of the recipe.
