Need a healthy dairy free alternative to buttermilk? Coconut milk is the healthiest dairy free milk substitute you can use. It is rich in healthy saturated fats and boosts the immune system.
You can use homemade or coconut milk to make this dairy free “buttermilk”. The acid from the vinegar or lemon juice reacts the same way cultured buttermilk acts in baked goods.

Hi!
Thanks for the recipe! I’m going to attempt to make a vegan version of the popular “Kentucky Buttermilk Poundcake” using Just Egg and coconut “buttermilk” and Flora plant based “butter”. Very excited to see how it turns out!

Can I use coconut buttermilk for a stomach ulcer.
I was told to use regular buttermilk,, and I don’t use dairy
Hi Coconut Mama,
I have a recipe that calls for flour to sit overnight in buttermilk. Would this be okay to use? I’m concerned about leaving coconut milk out overnight.
Also would acv work for the vinegar?
Thank you!
I was looking for a coconut milk buttermilk recipe to use to make cottage cheese. I know that using non diary milk + vinegar works as a good substitute in cooked dishes like pancakes or cakes, but do you think it would work for cottage cheese?
Hello, I’m so glad I found this recipe for my
Chocolate cake that I will be making dairy free. One question though about the coconut milk… do I let the fat from the canned coconut milk separate and just use that or do I just use the whole contents of the can including the water? Thanks!
Where are those cute milk bottles from?
I got a couple from whole foods. The were originally filled with Iced Tea, but we have reused them.
Is that ACVinegar?
