Smart substitutions

• Greek yogurt for most of the butter

  Adds moisture and protein while keeping added fat low.

  Texture: Soft and slightly tangy rather than ultra-rich.

• Monk fruit sweetener for brown sugar

  Keeps the filling free from refined sugar.

  Texture: Less sticky caramelization but the same cinnamon warmth.
