🥛✨ Move Over, Buttermilk—There’s a New Star in Town! ✨🥛
Hey lovelies! Let’s talk about something that’s been a total game-changer in my kitchen lately: buttermilk alternatives. Whether you’re vegan, lactose-intolerant, or just looking to mix things up, this is one ingredient swap you don’t want to miss.
🌱 What Is a Buttermilk Alternative?
Traditional buttermilk is tangy, creamy, and perfect for baking and marinating—but it’s not always easy to digest or align with dietary preferences. Enter buttermilk alternatives! These are plant-based or dairy-free options designed to mimic that signature tang and texture, without the dairy.
My personal favorite? Oat-based buttermilk. It’s smooth, slightly sweet, and has that perfect acidic kick when you add a touch of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar. Other popular options include almond, soy, and even coconut-based versions!
