Notes
Substitutions:
*Unsweetened applesauce - can be subbed for an equal amount of light butter or regular butter. The calories will vary. *0 calorie brown sugar - can be subbed for any 0 calorie granulated sweetener. The sweetener I used is a 1:1 ratio of sweetener to sugar so bear that in mind when substituting. *Light butter - can be subbed for an equal amount of unsweetened applesauce or regular butter but the calories will vary. *0 calorie powdered sweetener - can be subbed for regular powdered/icing sugar but the calories will increase. You can also make your own by blitzing 0 calorie granulated sweetener in a food processor until powdered. *Unsweetened almond milk - can be subbed for an equal amount of any milk but calories may vary slightly.Nutrition
