Cooking with non-dairy milks....
Posted Saturday, March 6, 2010 at 8:12 AM

Simple but important question...does anyone know if you can sub almond milk for soy or rice milk? I know in many recipes it would not matter, but I'm talking about like baking, maybe where it calls for adding vinegar to "sour" the milk, or like in today's buckwheat blueberry pancakes, it calls for rice or soy specifically? I am trying to minimize so much soy, and have recently gone to Almond Breeze almond milk which is just amazing!! And Silk coconut creamer in my coffee. Tell me I don't need anything else. Very Happy

I only use almond milk. I had one Dr. tell me I was allergic to soy, so that is all I use. I really like it.

I substitute coconut or almond milk for soy - I really don't like soy milk very much. I've never had an issue Smile

Almond milk is a great pinch-hitter for any of these, I agree. Plus it has no "beany" quality.

Diane,

I haven't had a problem using whatever is on hand in any of the recipes. I have a tendency to buy what is on sale at the time (were a single income family)and that can vary from week to week ya know. The only thing I will not substitute is when the recipe calls for coconut milk. It seems richer to me and that is about the only time I won’t throw in another plant based milk as a substitution. I'm probably WAY off base on this one though Wink. We enjoy all of the milks so it's not an issue.
