Notes

*You can use any granulated or liquid sweetener of your choice, but honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar, date sugar and maple sugars are the less processed, naturally derived sweeteners. For the lower calorie, reduced carb option reflected in the nutrition facts, use sugar-free sweeteners such as monk fruit sweetener or stevia (but be sure to convert according to package instructions as stevia differs by brand). 
**use monk fruit sweetener or erythritol for the lower calorie, lower carb option
