Hello, I’ve been wanting to make this but where I live we don’t have coconut sugar or vegan butter... do you have suitable alternatives?
Jillian Glenn says
Hi Malak, any sugar will work as a swap for the coconut sugar and you can substitute oil for the vegan butter.

Hello Jillian!
We are moving out of the country in a few months, so I going throught ingredients and we finished our maple syrup.
Can I use extra sugar or dilute some sugar to have the same amount as for Maple syrup?
Thanks for your recipes,
Angela Hansen.
Jillian says
Hi there, I'm thinking this recipe should turn out great with some extra sugar rather than maple! If you notice that the batter is overly thick, you can always add a splash more non dairy milk.
