I was wondering if there is any substitution for the pumpkin pie spice, because they don’t sell it in stores in my area. and Great Recipe! I’ll be sure to try it out after I find out what else could be used other than the pumpkin pie spice!
Pumpkin pie spice is a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and a little cloves. (Use mostly cinnamon)
Can you use just maple syrup in place of the mapleine?? I am not familiar with that product.
You can, but you won’t get nearly the same strength of the maple taste. You can get Mapleline at Walmart or most grocery stores by the extracts
Baked goods help me make a lot of friends. I like to hear their compliment about my products. I hope they will stick around.
