    Homemade Dairy-Free Baking Mix

    7
    By Alisa Fleming on February 22, 2015 Bread, Dairy-Free Recipes, Sarah's Recipes

    You might recall my Better Than Crocker Biscuit Baking Mix Recipe from the holiday season. It produces fluffy dairy-free biscuits and can be used in place of Bisquick in a myriad of recipes. But we all have our little tweaks and variations on traditional recipes … this is Sarah‘s version of a homemade dairy-free baking mix, which she uses in her Caramel Apple Pudding Cake Recipe (yes, that’s dairy-free, too!).

    Homemade Dairy-Free Baking Mix - naturally vegan and convenient!

    Sarah prefers a higher ratio of “milk” powder (see the milk powder note below) in her dairy-free baking mix and a touch less fat. But the recipe is quite flexible in terms of wheat flours – you can use all-purpose for the fluffiest results, swap in white-wheat flour or whole wheat pastry flour for more whole grain goodness, or go full-on hearty with spelt or kamut flour.

    Special Diet Notes: Dairy-Free Baking Mix

    By ingredients, this recipe is dairy-free / non-dairy, egg-free, nut-free, peanut-free, optionally soy-free, vegan / plant-based, and vegetarian.

    Non-Dairy Milk Powders: A key to this dairy-free baking mix is “milk” powder. Fortunately, this ingredient is becoming much more common, can be purchased online (it’s shelf-stable), and there are several options emerging. Here’s the quick low-down:

    • Soymilk Powder – Since this is the original dairy-free milk powder, there are a few brands available, including Now Foods and Better Than Milk.
    • Rice Milk Powder – Second in line for availability, you can get brands like Better Than Milk or my favorite, Growing Naturals.
    • Potato Milk Powder – Vance’s is the only brand we know of, and we aren’t big fans of the ingredients, but it’s an option.
    • Coconut Milk Powder – Most brands contain at touch of caseinate (dairy), but there are a few truly dairy-free and vegan brands popping up, including Native Forest.

      Can a person use the Coffeemate powder milk. It is dairy-free.

        Hi Connie, unfortunately, Coffeemate creamer isn’t dairy-free. It’s an issue with labeling of some non-dairy products (primarily creamers and whipped toppings). See this post for details -> https://www.godairyfree.org/news/non-dairy-vs-dairy-free
        And it probably won’t work well in this recipe since it has several additives. It might, but we couldn’t say for sure.

      If one is using coconut oil for this, it should not be refrigerated.
