Even regular sugar such as brown sugar will work.

Soy milk, almond milk or any other milk alternative will work as well. My favorite one is oat milk because it's naturally quite sweet.

Alternatively, you could buy ground flaxseeds.

(Whole) Flaxseeds: We used brown flaxseeds for this recipe but golden flaxseeds work just as fine!
