- SWEETENER: For additional sweetening, you can add 1-2 Tbsps of either sweetener: Agave, pure maple syrup, or honey.
- MOLASSES: If using regular molasses, you can use the recommended amount as listed in the recipe. If using Blackstrap Molasses, simply use 1 less tablespoon than the amount listed to ensure that the batter isn’t too bitter.
- KAHLUA: Kahlúa is used to make cocktails or drinks neat. Some people use it when baking desserts, and/or as a topping for ice cream, cakes, and cheesecakes. It is mixed in several ways, often with different combinations of milk, cream, coffee and cocoa. Because Kahlúa is made from coffee beans, it contains caffeine.
