   Could you use almond milk instead of buttermilk?

2. I I Quit SugarIQS team10 Aug 2023

   Hey Megan, yes you can use any kind of milk – almond milk will work perfectly. But just make sure to add a squeeze of lemon to it so you’ll end up with that same effect the buttermilk gives. Happy baking!!

   Is there a substitute ingredient to use instead of bananas please?

4. I I Quit SugarIQS team15 Aug 2023

   Hey Raylene, one cup applesauce or pumpkin puree will both work well as a substitute for the bananas! The taste will differ slightly, but it’ll still be delish!

   I found that the muffins in a 12 hole muffin tin were ready after 25 mins when I put a skewer in it came out clean I left it in for another 5 mins to brown up and they turned out great :)

   Is there a substitute to wheat flour – thanks

   Hey Jen, yes you can use any self-raising flour of your choice, or if you prefer you can choose a plain flour (like almond flour, for instance, and add baking powder). But any flour will work, as long as it’s either self-raising or has baking powder added. Happy baking!

   Hi – Could you use unsweeted applesauce in place of the rice malt syrup? or do you have another suggestion?

   Hey Elvi, yes that will definitely work – sounds delish! You could also try monk fruit sweetener, but it’s completely up to you – we love the sound of applesauce. Hope you enjoy the recipe!
