The Benefits Of Baking With Plant Milk
In today’s world people in general are always looking at trying to live a more healthy lifestyle. This could involve joining a gym or exercising on a regular basis by jogging, cycling and just simply walking. We are all looking at ways to stay healthy for longer in our lives.
Many people also look at what they eat and there is no doubt that a lot of the food on supermarket shelves is processed food and contains high levels of fat. So we are all looking for a more healthy option when it comes to our eating habits. One such change that many people have made is switching to plant based milk such as oat or almond milk. You will also find many people are now starting to use plant based milks in baking.
In this this article I’m going to explore the health benefits of using an oat drink for baking, as well as the sustainability of using a plant based milk can have for the environment.
1. Health benefits of a plant based milk
A lot of people are switching to a vegetarian, vegan diet and a lactose free diet. This is where a plant based milk is a brilliant alternative. For example, plant based milk is naturally lactose free and with many people having a lactose intolerance condition it’s the perfect solution.
Plant based milks have loads of essential nutrients such as calcium, vitamin D and vitamin B12 to help you stay healthy.
2. Environmental benefits of plant based milks
If you are serious about living a sustainable life then plant a based diet is the answer. It can make a huge difference to reducing greenhouse gases which in turn will promote a more healthy planet for future generations.
Here are a few selections when it comes to baking with an oat drink
Oat drink pancakes are really simple. You make all the ingredients the same as normal but just substitute cows milk with an oat drink and then just add all your favourite toppings such as strawberries or maple syrup. I’m sure you will not be disappointed.
Blueberry muffins are another suggestion that you can bake using an oat drink. Again, just substitute the cows milk with an oat drink and they will be delicious muffins for everybody to enjoy. If you like a nutty kick then add almond milk when baking using a plant based milk. This is particularly good for banana bread.
