I was planning on making your banana oat bread today, but obviously I didn't read through the recipe carefully enough and I don't have buttermilk. I just got back from the grocery store, so I'm trying to avoid another trip if I can. Do you think I could use regular milk? And have you ever subbed applesauce for the oil? Thinking of trying that too...

You can use milk + vinegar to make buttermilk.  Use google to find the amounts, I can't remember.

You can add 1 tbs lemon juice or vinegar to a cup of milk and let it sit for 15 min and then you have buttermilk!

Yay! Thank ladies.

and you can sub applesauce for oil, the amounts vary, I usually do about 1c applesauce to 1/4c oil, but play around until it looks moist enough

I generally "make" buttermilk with vinegar and milk

I haven't subbed the applesauce for oil on that bread yet, but I bet it would work.  Maybe swap out half of it the first go round?

I always thought it was equal parts...maybe that's why I haven't had much success with that substitution, lol.

I've always used equal parts.

I read this as her saying that she keeps one 1/4 cup of real oil for every 1 C of applesauce she uses in a recipe.  Am I reading it wrong??

I thought since she said 1 c. applesauce to 1/4 c. oil, that she was referring to a substitution ratio.

Either way, I am planning to make it this afternoon. I am excited to try it!

for every 1/4 c of oil the recipe calls for, I usually use 1 c applesauce.  Otherwise, to me they turn out dry.  But usually, I just add applesauce until the batter looks right
