Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour, but it may alter the texture slightly. Start with half whole wheat and half all-purpose for best results, ensuring your jumbles remain soft and chewy.
What can I use instead of M&M's Mini Baking Bits?
If you don't have M&M's Mini Baking Bits, chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bars work well as substitutes. You can also use colorful sprinkles or other baking candies to achieve a similar visual appeal.
Can I make these jumbles vegan?
Yes, to make vegan jumbles, substitute the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water) and use vegan butter or coconut oil. Ensure the M&M's are dairy-free or replace them with a vegan chocolate alternative.
