Make them vegan by substituting your favorite vegan butter 1 to 1 with the dairy butter. To make vegan buttermilk, mix together your favorite plant based milk (we like oat!) and 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar. For eggs, use 2 Tbsp ground chia seeds or egg replacer, mixed with 6 Tbsp water.
Make them gluten free with a simple swap of 1:1 gluten free flour blend for the unbleached wheat flour. Cornmeal and corn flour are naturally gluten free, but may be processed in a facility with wheat. Look for ingredients labeled ‘Certified Gluten Free.’ We love Bob’s Red Mill.
