Notes
For Paleo recipe- Substitute Baking Powder for Baking Soda & Substitute Flax meal for 2 eggs.
For a low sugar please substitute half of the amount of sugar with Lakanto Monk Fruit, or Erythritol, this will makes this recipe low glycemic.
For a completely sugar free option instead of Sugar cane- Use Lakanto Monk Fruit or organic non-GMO Erythritol. Instead of Maple Syrup use Lakanto Maple Syrup.
