Chef's tip
Choose a gluten-free baking blend labeled 1:1 or cup-for-cup and use the same amount. Almond and coconut flour won't work the same way.
3 tbsp granulated sugar
Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ tsp baking powder
1 pinch salt
1 large egg
3 tbsp whole milk
Chef's tip
Use plain, unsweetened soy milk, measured 1:1. It's one of the most reliable milk swaps and works in sauces, custards, and baked goods. For hot or acidic drinks, a barista-style soy milk resists curdling.
2 tbsp neutral oil (such as vegetable oil or canola oil)
Chef's tip
Avocado oil is neutral and handles high heat, making it a good all-purpose swap.
