Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute ingredients in any baking recipe?

Most baking recipes can accommodate substitutions, but some are more flexible than others. Muffins, quick breads, and cookies are generally more forgiving than delicate cakes or pastries. Always start with small test batches when trying new substitutions.

How do I know if my substitution will work?

Follow our tested ratios and look for similar properties in your substitute. For example, if replacing eggs, consider what function they serve (binding, leavening, or moisture) and choose substitutes that fulfill the same role.

What's the most important rule for baking substitutions?

Accuracy is key! Baking is chemistry, so measure carefully and don't substitute more than 2-3 ingredients in a single recipe. Keep notes on what works so you can replicate successful results.
