    Vegan Cornmeal Oat Pancakes

    This homemade buttermilk substitute is a convenient solution for recipes that require buttermilk and allows you to avoid purchasing an entire carton for a small amount needed in the recipe.

    Ingredients:

    • 1 cup milk (Soy Milk, Almond Milk, Coconut Milk, Whole milk or 2% milk works best)
    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice OR apple cider vinegar

    Instructions:

    1. Combine Ingredients:

      • In a measuring cup or small bowl, add the milk.
      • Stir in the Lemon Juice or Apple Cider Vinegar. Mix well.

    2. Let it Sit:

      • Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes. During this time, the acid (from lemon juice or vinegar) will sour the milk slightly and it will start to curdle. This is what gives buttermilk its characteristic tangy flavor and thickened texture.

    3. Stir and Use:

      • After 5-10 minutes, give the mixture a gentle stir. It should appear slightly thicker and may have small curdled bits, similar to traditional buttermilk.

    4. Use in Recipes:

      • Your homemade buttermilk substitute is now ready to use in any recipe that calls for buttermilk. Use it in pancakes, cakes, biscuits, dressings, or any other recipe as directed.

    Notes:

    • This substitute works best with milk that has some fat content (whole milk or 2% milk). If you use skim milk, the texture and thickness may not be as optimal.
    • The ratio is typically 1 cup of milk to 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar, but you can adjust depending on the amount needed for your recipe.
