Substitutes

Post by Dee »

Yeast substitutes:
1 tablespoon baking soda + 1/2 teaspoon ascorbic acid (vitamin C)
1 tablespoon baking soda + 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Egg Substitutes:
2 tablespoons arrowroot powder = 1 egg
2 tablespoons potato starch = 1 egg
1 banana = 1 egg in cakes, muffins, quick breads
Butter Substitutes:
Oil instead of butter for sauteing
Oil or coconut butter or applesauce for baked goods
Spectrum Naturals Spread for things like pie crusts
Substitute for half & half = coconut milk
Substitute for powdered milk = Vance's Dari-Free (potato based) or rice milk powder
Substitute for evaporated milk = thinned coconut milk or rice milk
Substitute for sweetened condensed milk = cream of coconut or 3 cups rice, almond, or hempseed milk + 1/2 cup sugar + vanilla extract
Substitute for buttermilk = 2-3 teaspoons of lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, or cream of tartar in your nut, rice, hempseed miks
Substitute for sour cream = 1 cup mayo + 1 tablespoon sugar
Corn free baking powder = 2 tsp cream of tartar+ 1 tsp baking soda+ 2 tsp arrowroot
Hope these tips help you out..
