Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute eggs in brownies?

Yes! For fudgy brownies, use 1/4 cup applesauce or mashed banana per egg. For cake-like brownies, try 1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water per egg, or commercial egg replacer following package directions.

What is a good gluten-free flour alternative?

For baking, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend or mix 40% brown rice flour, 30% white rice flour, 20% tapioca starch, and 10% potato starch. Add xanthan gum (1/4 tsp per cup) for better texture.

How do I substitute dairy milk in recipes?

Most plant-based milks work 1:1 for dairy milk. Oat milk is best for coffee and cereal, almond milk for smoothies, and coconut milk for rich desserts. For baking, unsweetened varieties work best.

What can I use instead of butter in baking?

For cookies and cakes, use coconut oil (solid, 3/4 the amount), applesauce (1/2 the amount), or vegan butter (1:1 ratio). For flaky pastries, vegan butter or solid coconut oil works best.
