Sure, I substituted the butter and sugar, but that doesn’t mean you have to/it's any healthier! Use the same amounts for each that were used for their substitutes and lmk how it goes :) I used brown sugar and didn’t substitute it because I just love the taste of it, so why the heck would I give that up?!
