When serving 9-12 month old baby, cut it up into smaller pieces, so it’s easy for baby to eat.; Older toddlers : Sprinkle in a few mini chocolate chips to make it feel like a treat.; Adults : Add chopped walnuts and chocolate chips on top.; Dates : The star sweetener. Use Medjool or Deglet Noor dates. I don’t recommend replacing the dates in this recipe.; Avocado oil : A healthy, neutral-flavored oil that gives moisture without overpowering flavor. Substitute : Olive oil, melted coconut oil, or even a mild vegetable oil will work just fine.; Eggs : Help with binding and fluffiness. Substitute : For egg-free version, use flax eggs (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp water per egg), though texture may be slightly more dense.; Non-dairy milk : Almond milk, oat milk, coconut milk all great options to keep this dairy-free. Substitute : Regular whole milk works great.; Vanilla : Adds a nice vanilla flavor, I don’t recommend replacing it in this recipe.
