Substitute For Sour Cream And/or Yogurt In Recipes

[Loey]

Does anyone know a substitute for sour cream and/or yogurt in recipes? I am dairy free right now and have some great gluten-free bread recipes that someone gave me but they call for either sour cream or yogurt.

Thanks

There are some dairy-free soy yogurts out there that work well in recipes. Not very tasty to eat as is, IMHO but good in recipes.

Coconut milk for the fat and texture with some gluten-free pure apple cider vinegar added for the acid that is in the yogurt. Or you can just add another form of fat such as as coconut oil, or gluten-free shortening, or olive oil, and the vinegar, about a half teaspoon to a teaspoon.

And this is for BAKING.

Thank you! this was really helpful, as was the previous response! Wound up using coconut yogurt. I was making gingerbread and I've recently moved to a new city/state. I had JUST found the new spice rack I had bought (with spices) an of course there was not any ginger or cloves.

Turned it into cinnamon bread. My hubby and friends loved it but I think the molasses or another ingredient didn't sit well with me. I'm highly sensitive right now and am doing the elimination diet (living on rice and veggies) in addition to eating gluten-free.

You all are the best!
