Method
Flours
- 1
Substituting Flours
To substitute all-purpose flour, use almond flour for a nutty flavor or coconut flour for a gluten-free option. Note that coconut flour absorbs more moisture, so reduce the quantity by 1/4 cup.
Sugars
- 2
Substituting Sugars
For granulated sugar, you can use coconut sugar for a healthier option. If using honey as a substitute, reduce the liquid in the recipe by 1/4 cup.
Dairy
- 3
Substituting Dairy
Replace regular milk with almond milk or coconut milk for dairy-free recipes. The flavor will vary slightly; almond milk has a nuttier taste while coconut milk adds a tropical flavor.
Eggs
- 4
Substituting Eggs
For each egg, you can use 2 tablespoons of flaxseed meal mixed with 3 tablespoons of water or 2 tablespoons of chia seeds mixed with 3 tablespoons of water as an egg substitute. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
