Notes
Ingredient Substitution Notes
- All-purpose flour. make them gluten-free by using a 1:1 all-purpose gluten-free flour blend. You can substitute up to half of the flour with whole wheat pastry flour.
- Sour cream. full-fat Greek yogurt or plain yogurt work well too.
- Salted butter. Unsalted butter, coconut oil, and canola oil are all potential substitutes.
- Applesauce. mashed banana or sweet potato can be used in place of applesauce.
- Whole Milk. you can use half and half, 2% milk or coconut milk.
- Light brown sugar. For a richer molasses taste, use dark brown sugar.
- Quick cooking oats. if you don't have quick oats, pulse old-fashioned oats in the blender a couple times, then use in this recipe.
- Chocolate chips. Use your favorite variety - milk, dark or semisweet. Or use different mix-ins like nuts, dried fruit, etc.
