- Maple syrup can be replaced with honey or agave nectar as preferred.
- For a vegan version, choose plant-based yogurt and milk alternatives.
- Pumpkin pie spice can be substituted with a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
- Adjust spice and sweetness according to your taste to make it perfect for you.
