Now with the holidays coming there is a lot of baking going on from pies to cakes. Vegan baking sounds tricky cause how are you going to make a cake with no eggs, no butter, or milk. Good thing there are a lot of neat substitutes that you can use to replace dairy and eggs when baking vegan.
Dairy Substitutes
When a recipe calls for cow's milk, replacing it with plant-based milk would work just fine. Whether it's soy, almond, cashew, or oat milk.
Buttermilk:
For buttermilk just mix 1 cup of non-dairy milk with 1 tablespoon of either lemon juice or apple cider vinegar.
Butter:
Good substitutes for butter are neutral-tasting oil such as canola, olive, or coconut oil. There is also plant-based butter.
Eggs:
Substituting eggs can get more complicated but thankfully there are a variety of different ways to substitute eggs.
Flaxseed- For one egg mix 1 tablespoon of flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water
Applesauce- 1 egg =1/4 cup of applesauce
Banana- Smash one banana to replace one egg
