Substitutions
- An extra fluffy muffin is always welcome. You can mimic the velvety texture of buttermilk by curdling the milk first with a little bit of lemon juice. But if you’re histamine intolerant, you might not be able to tolerate citrus fruits.
- You can lower the total calories coming from carbohydrates by reducing the syrup to 1/4 cup. And if you don’t want to compromise the sweetness, but want to lessent the calories, use manuka honey instead. It’s sweeter than maple syrup but has the same calories.
- Aside from oats, you can also substitue with other whole grain flours such as barley, buckwheat, corn, and millet.
- For the non-dairy milk, you can use soymilk, oatmilk or almond milk.
