LET'S TALK ABOUT DAIRY FREE & NUT FREE MILK OPTIONS : :)

For those like me who cannot have dairy or nuts its important to explore your diffrent dairy free and milk options you will be surprised to find what a fantastci selection!!  These are some brand's that I use!! :)


Golden Flax Seed Milk From Flax USA! This milk is great and taste delicious they have original 7mg sugar cane and vanilla 11mg sugar cane  the only draw back it does contain some evaporated cane sugar :( for those who cannot or like me who can only tolerate a very small amount of sugar this is something that I do not consume allot in my baking and cooking due to the sugar. but it is a good and healthy option~ check the website out it gives you all the nutritional facts ! :)

I love making my own Coconut Milk

http://www.flaxusa.com/products.php?page=flaxmilk

This one is my first and favorite that I use all the time and its sugar free as well!!! I love Turtle Mountains So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk!!! Remember coconut is not a nut just saying :)  Its actually a tropical fruit :)
http://www.turtlemountain.com/products/product.php?p=so_delicious_beverage_hg_unsweetened


Okay so I use this on rare occasions when i cannot get my other stand-byes I do not use soy in abundance, but my body can tolerate it .  Silk Soy Milk I do not care that this brand states that it may contain traces of nuts in it so I am always Leary to use it :(

This is a great favorite of mine HEMP MILK!!! Living Harvest is the Brand Hemp Milk ! and they make and unsweetened version as well!! thus sugar free yippee!

1/4 cup of palm sugar (or stevia in the raw or Xylitol derived from birch)


1  cup of milk of choice (coconut/hemp/rice/flax) mixed with 1 Tab and a 1/2 of raw apple cider vinegar.
2Cups warm water (up to an extra 1/4 of water in some cases) you are looking for a pourable batter.
1tsp of vanilla extract
2 egg or egg re-placer (For Egg Re-placer use 1 Heaping tablespoon of Flax seeds (that were previously ground up in your coffee grinder, add the ground flax meal into a glass measuring cup and add 2 1/2 TAB of VERY WARM water, let sit for 10 min give or take till it gums up - walla vegan eggs lol :)  or you can USE Energy-Foods Brand Egg Re placer.
2TAB Vegetable  or coconut Oil

Mix your milk of choice and the raw apple cider vinegar together first thing and set aside so it can become "sour".
Preheat your pan (on med to med low depending on your stove) or griddle I have a flat griddle that i set to about 300 degrees.

Mix together all your dry ingredients,  in a large bowl.
then add your wet ingredients, mixing in a slow upward motion try not to over-mix the mix. Scoop onto  your preheated grill , that  has been sprayed or brused with oil or dairy free butter (such as earth balance) . I love to smother mine with earth balance and pure maple syrup!
