Substitutions

Overripe Banana - Bananas not ripe yet? Prick them all over with a fork, put them on a parchment-lined sheet pan, and bake at 350ºF for about 10 minutes, or until dark all over.

Brown Sugar - You can make your own using granulated sugar and molasses in a 1 cup : 1-2 tablespoon ratio. Alternatively, use a less-processed sugar like grated piloncillo or jaggery, or muscovado sugar.

White Sugar - Pure cane sugar and superfine/caster sugar are perfect 1:1 swaps.

Maple Syrup - You can use agave nectar, date syrup, or even honey if you prefer. To replace the maple undertones, add ¼ teaspoon maple extract.

Cinnamon Sticks - While it’ll leave a bit of sediment, feel free to swap in ¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon for each stick.

Nutmeg - Replace with a bit of extra cinnamon, a pinch of cloves or allspice, or some pumpkin pie spice.

Salt - If you’re on a salt-free diet, try adding ¼ - ½ teaspoon of butter extract instead.

Vanilla Extract - You can use an equal amount of vanilla paste or powder, or use half as much ground vanilla bean.
