⭐ Silken Tofu + Lemon Juice (Best Dairy-Free Option)

3/4 cup blended silken tofu + 1 1/2 tsp lemon juice per 1 cup sour cream

Quick tip: This vegan substitute replicates sour cream’s creaminess and acidity but may slightly alter texture.

Blended silken tofu provides a creamy, neutral base similar in texture to sour cream, while lemon juice adds the necessary acidity to activate baking soda. This combination helps maintain moisture and leavening in quick bread.

Blend tofu until completely smooth before mixing with lemon juice. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes to develop acidity before adding to the batter.

The bread will be slightly denser and less tender than with sour cream but still moist, with a mild lemony tang that complements many quick bread flavors.
