I veganized this recipe by substituting vegan butter and extra creamy oat milk and it turned out phenomenal. My family went crazy over it and requested I make it for our next big get together. Thank you so much for sharing!!
Thank you Melissa! We’re so glad you enjoyed it. We’ll have to try out your Vegan substitutions as well because they sound delish!
