Common Questions & Swaps

I cannot guarantee that by swapping out any of the flours with another kind will yield a successful result. However, I know that cassava flour can be swapped with green plantain flour.
Maple syrup can also be swapped with another liquid sweetener like honey, vegan honey or agave.
No apple sauce? I think pureed pumpkin or mashed banana could be a great swap here.
