Milk substitutes:
*Soy milk, Rice milk, Almond milk, Coconut milk, Hemp milk, and oat milk.
Replacing buttermilk:
If a recipe calls for buttermilk, add one tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to a cup of soymilk to replace buttermilk and mix well. It’s not quite as robust as buttermilk, but will have a similar flavor.

Wheat Free and gluten free flour substitutes:
- Rice flour - Easy to find, usually in regular grocery stores. Can be used as a wheat flour sub cup for cup in some recipes but is better mixed with other flours.
- Tapioca starch
- Potato starch
- Potato Flour
- Sorghum Flour
- Bean flours - I've tried a few different bean flours and am not a big fan. I have been told that Authentic Foods' Garfava Flour is quite good and doesn't have as much of a bean flavor as the others do.
