⭐ Non-Dairy Milk + Lemon Juice or Vinegar (Best Dairy-Free Option)
1 cup unsweetened soy or oat milk + 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar (let sit 5 minutes) Quick tip: Dairy-free option that replicates acidity but may alter flavor slightly.
Plant-based milks like soy or oat have similar moisture content to dairy milk. Adding acid creates the necessary environment for baking soda activation.
Use unsweetened varieties to avoid unwanted sweetness. Let sit for 5 minutes before use. Some non-dairy milks have thinner consistency, so batter texture may vary.
The banana bread will have a slightly different flavor profile and may be less rich, but the texture and rise remain close to the original.
