Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, or lemon juice
  • Unsweetened plain dairy-free milk beverage or creamer or lite canned coconut milk
Instructions
  1. Add the vinegar or lemon juice to a glass measuring cup. Add enough milk beverage to reach 1 cup.
  2. You can use this immediately as a 1:1 substitute for buttermilk in most recipes, including baking. There's no need to let it sit.
Notes
Note: You can use ⅓ cup full-fat canned coconut milk + water as needed to reach 1 cup for a richer faux buttermilk if you don't have lite canned coconut milk.
