Customization & Variations
While this recipe shines as written, you have options for specific ingredients. The recipe calls for Earth Balance vegan butter, but feel free to use your favorite brand of vegan butter that softens well. Similarly, for the almond milk, we've used Silk Original, but any plain, unsweetened almond milk will work perfectly. Always ensure your granulated and light brown sugars are certified vegan cane sugar for a fully plant-based loaf.
