Depends on the ingredient. I often leave out or substitute
nuts (there are many nuts I don't like and many things
in which I don't like any nuts, even nuts I like). There are
other ingredients which can be changed - I often vary the liquid
such as substituting some other liquid for coffee, which I hate.
But as for the basic ratio of baking powder or baking soda to
flour and liquid (and the acidity of the liquid) need to be
adhered to fairly closely.
