For those with dietary restrictions or preferences, you can easily swap out the flour for a gluten-free blend or use a dairy alternative for the milk. Just ensure that any substitutions are of good quality to maintain that lovely texture. For a nut-free version, simply omit the almond extract or use a different flavor that complements your taste.
