Uhh, plant-based milks are not what you replace milk with for nutritional reasons. That's what seeds and greens are for.

Plant-based milks are what you replace dairy with for culinary reasons. And don't expect it to be the same, just find what's good in its own way.

Oat milk is the creamiest dairy alternative for tea and coffee. It's pretty great but does have a strong flavour that might not be appreciated by people with a more complicated palate than me.

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Oat milk is the fucking bomb for making pancakes and regular cakes.

I wish it weren't so expensive and that it didn't make my weight explode. But damn it's good.

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I never considered that... But it sounds awesome. Thank you. Truly thank you

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Like, I expected everything to have a bit more structure because of the carbs, but they come out sooooooo fluffy. You'll lose some of that silkiness, but you can get some of that back by adding a little more fat. Not too much or it'll kinda collapse.

When Rosa Parks's personal documents were digitized in 2016, the fact that she used peanut butter as a fat kinda blew up on the Internet. I'm obsessed with peanut butter (and mildly allergic), so I tried this and never looked back. Combine that with oat milk, and it's like you've never truly eaten pancakes before.

Wait peanut butter in pancakes? Can you explain please?

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Pancake ingredients (waffle conversion):

  • 1.5 c all-purpose flour (1/2 and sub 20% w/cornstarch)
  • 2.5 tsp baking powder (1/4 + equal baking soda)
  • .5 tsp salt (1/2)
  • 1-2 tbs white sugar (1-1/2 + a little more)
  • 1.25 c milk. This can change depending on the humidity and how accurately you measured everything else (1/2)
  • 1 egg (Same)
  • Substitute this 1:1 with peanut butter -> 3 tbs melted butter or vegetable butter substitute. Also, melted is debatable. They're pancakes, not cookies, just get the ingredients mixed together and in a pan or on a skillet.(1/2 + a little bit more)
  • Vanilla extract (1-1/2)

Cooking them:

  • Mix the ingredients in any order by hand with a whisk. Lumps are cool cuz they add texture and a homemade feel.
  • Cook the pancakes on a flat thing at 375⁰ F. When the pancakes start to bubble, you're almost ready to flip them. Let the tunnel that the bubbles create gain a little structure, and then flip.
  • I dunno for the waffles. I use the same number setting on the waffle iron that my dad left it at, and I just kinda follow my feelings on when to flip and call it done. I think it's, like, 90 seconds on the first side, flip. 4-ish minutes or until the batter starts coming out. Then flip again, for like 2 minutes?

Some fun additional things:

  • I often add bananas and banana extract to my pancakes and waffles. It'll usually become too runny after that, so I correct with more flour instead of decreasing any of the other ingredients.
  • Use crunchy peanut butter if you wanna have banana nut pancakes but don't want to spend the money for pecans or walnuts.
  • Lightly toast some rolled out steel-cut oatmeal, and sub a quarter of the flour with whole wheat for whole grain pancakes.

Do you have any good recipes? I never thought to try that.

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Personally I prefer soy milk in my coffee vs oat milk. It's got a subtle taste and the creaminess is closer to regular milk while only being slightly more creamy. Also goes well in overnight oats. (I've tried oat milk in my overnight oats, it was a bit much IMO lol)

Barley milk is also damn good in coffee but also stupid expensive. I haven't tried it in overnight oats though as last time I bought it it was like 4x the cost of soy milk. (I've only bought it once)

But that's the cool part, we've got so many options that everyone can have their preferred combo.

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Interesting. I recently tried soy milk in my coffee and it had 0 body to it at all. Very watery. Perhaps not all soy milk is the same though. I guess I need to try a few different places

[–] smh@slrpnk.net 1 points 4 days ago

The Target near me has "barista" almond milk that froths in a lovely way, so I can get foam on the top of my coffee or earl Grey tea. It's next to the creamers. I think it has extra gum or other thickener in it.

Gullible idiots popularizing plant milks is great for people with dairy allergies. Allergen-free foods mostly cost substantially more than the stuff they're replacing, so mass adoption lowers the prices and broadens availability. Additionally, different plant milks taste pretty different and you generally want to use different ones for different things. For example, coconut milk is tasty in desert recipes but not so much in mashed potatoes or sauces, whereas pea milk is great for those.

Source: my fiance is a chef with like 9 different food allergies, including dairy.

Gullible idiots popularizing plant milks is great for people with dairy allergies.

I feel this. I've been a lacto-ovo vegetarian my entire life, though since about 2010 or so I've been basically entirely plant based. With the veganism fad that went big in the 201Xs, the ease of access to vegetarian and vegan options increased so much, and it's awesome.

Before then, I never went to restaurants because they simply wouldn't have food for me, and if they did, it was obscure items on the menu they never cooked, and I always ended up getting food poisoning. Now there are entire restaurants only doing plant based foods. Hell even fast food have entire menus dedicated to plant based options.

In the end I'm still cooking much the same way I did in the past, except I guess I buy plant milks, and have access to tofu that's already made.

I've a coeliac friend who echoes the same sentiments with the anti-gluten craze.

Silly pee isn't milk

[–] thethunderwolf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

you missed the joke

the claim that it’s poison isn’t serious, neither is the claim that plant milk is a cure

it’s just a setup for the punchline

and plant milk is what you replace dairy with for ethics reasons

[–] AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 0 points 3 days ago

I didn't miss the joke, I just didn't comment on it.

Yeah, ethics reasons, and I simply chose not to comment on that either.

I just wanted to comment because the joke reinforces a simple misunderstanding on the nutritional side of things.
