When it comes to our children's food allergies it can challenging at times to come up with alternatives for them, so here are some quick and easy substitutions from FARE (Food Allergy Research and Education) when cooking for your kiddos!
1. Milk
Milk is one of the easiest ingredients to substitute in baking and cooking. Just use equal amounts of water or fruit juice. (For example, substitute 1 cup milk with 1 cup water.)
2. Eggs
For each egg in a recipe, substitute one of the following combinations. These substitutes work well when baking from scratch and in recipes that call for 1 to 3 eggs.
1 tsp. baking powder, 1 T. liquid, 1 T. vinegar
1 tsp. yeast dissolved in 1/4 cup warm water
1 1/2 T. water, 1 1/2 T. oil, 1 tsp. baking powder
1 packet gelatin, 2 T. warm water. Do not mix until ready to use.
3. Wheat
A combination of wheat-free flours usually works best for baking. Experiment with different blends to find one that will give you the texture you desire. Try substituting 1 cup wheat flour with one of the following:
7/8 cup rice flour
5/8 cup potato starch flour
1 cup soy flour, plus 1/4 cup potato starch flour
1 cup cornflour
