Tips & Substitutions
For a touch of extra flavor, consider adding a dash of nutmeg along with the cinnamon and allspice. If you don’t have brown sugar, white sugar can work too, but for a richer taste, try using coconut sugar. For a gluten-free option, substitute the flour with a gluten-free blend. This dessert is best enjoyed warm, so serve it fresh from the oven when possible.
