Almond milk is not a good substitute for whole milk in baking

I didn't even know almonds had tits! Let alone the fact you could milk them!

no such thing as almond milk.

it's not milk.

it's the same thing as calling margarine butter. it's not, never will be.

it's like squashing a potato and calling the starch water, potato milk.

mmm tasty.

Nope

Use coconut milk

Vegan and rich tasting

Healthy fat too

next on this week cooking with aunt teefa

that's not milk.

it's water.

It's funny you mention this. I had to read it twice as I
thought I might have written it... I made hollandaise sauce
last night and added in 1 cup almond milk.

YUCK.

Thank you for the helpful suggestion.

Oh boy! I bet that was gross. You ever notice how almond milk gets thicker as it ages? Not even close to the expiration date but it turns into glop.

For all you almond lovers out there, just remember this, no other crop gets sprayed with more pesticides than almonds!

Just thinking out loud.


Seems the almond milk is lacking the fat needed to glue this together.
Would you consider adding butter next time to make up for the missing milk fat??


Not an expert just an idea man.

why not just use milk?

Why are humans the only ones drinking breast milk after weaning?
And it's not even breast milk from our species.
Its breast milk from a huge mother. It has a different composition of protein and fats meant to grown a large baby into an enormous adult.
The dairy industry is also extremely damaging to the mothers and babies.
Male babies are either shit in the head right after birth, or they are chained up and imprisoned in little huts, and then murdered as "veal", after a few weeks.
The girl babies are enslaved like their mothers before them.
The machines hurt the mothers and there is always blood and pus from sores in their breast milk.
The mothers dont get to live a normal life. They are tortured every day of their short, sad lives. They die much earlier than they should when they are murdered on conveyor belts

And humans think these mothers are treated "humanely".

If the least of what you suffer is a change to your recipe, consider yourself lucky. You may come back in your next life as a cow.

Baking is chemistry. Learn how to bake. There magical resources out there called BOOKS. Try cracking one open or buying a cheap one on Kindle. And alternative baking is very expensive. Also you tube. Maybe stop living in ignorance.

No protein!

One gram in 8 ozs for almond milk, where cow's milk has eight grams of protein per cup = 1gm protein/1oz milk!

Hollandaise is butter and egg yolk, why would you put in any kind of milk.

If your cookies crumble, it's because of the other ingredients, not the milk.

What ingredients did ou use? What flour did you use? Did you forget the eggs?

I am so sorry that you have so many replies from a holes. I understand where you are, as my whole family has to be gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian, and cannot have chemicals in their foods. This being said, gluten free and dairy free go hand in hand.
Almond "milk" is from almonds and water. Almonds also have lignins that are not good in large quantities. I have found that keeping one percent shelf stable milk, used only in baking in small amounts, is okay on occasion. Don't know if this will work for you, but if not, try making oat milk. My daughter uses oat milk in her baking and she seems to like it.

Good Luck.
Have a Blessed Day, today and always.

I think coconut is better- it’s got more fat. Even cashew milk would be better.

almonds dont have tits.

good to know. I've wondered.

Maybe oat milk?

Almond milk is just dirty filtered nut water.


Tell me where the fuck you get milk from a dry ass nut.

It’s a lifesaver. People forget that for most of human history we had famines and ate and drank what was available. And milk is wonderful. A great electrolyte drink. We don’t give up our ancestral foods because we now have supermarkets and insane shipping of food all over the world. And vitamin/mineral supplements vegans can’t live without. Modern society could end in a second and we would be back to eating locally. And meat and milk are the staples of life. No vegans would survive.

Hemp Milk for baking

The article notes, “Healthy eating may be best achieved with a plant-based diet, which we define as a regimen that encourages whole, plant-based foods and discourages meats, dairy products, and eggs as well as all refined and processed foods … Physicians should consider recommending a plant-based diet to all their patients, especially those with high blood pressure, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or obesity.”

Just 2 grams of protein compared to milk's 8 grams!!

Protein holds your baked goods together, whereas fats make them soft and moist...

Add bacon drippings to cornbread and you'll come all over the dinner table...

It’s not a good diet long term. Plus you need supplements like b12 and choline. Many can’t live on plants. Their gut doesn’t like it. Put them on a more carnivore diet and their gut calms down and they lose weight. And you can live on that without supplements. Get rid of processed foods.
