--------------------------------------

Here are the substitutions I made to the recipe:
1/2 ts Salt ------------ omitted
1 1/2 c All-purpose flour ------------- I used whole grain flour
3/4 c Granulated sugar -------------- I used 1/3 cup unsweetened apple sauce, 1 tsp liquid stevia
1 ts Baking soda --------I used sodium free baking soda
2/3 c Skim milk -------- I used low fat plain soy milk

With my changes, here are the new nutritional values (note: the analyzer couldn't find low fat skim milk so I put in regular skim milk):
