Buttermilk is thicker and more acidic than milk. It adds tenderness to baked goods and works well in pancakes, cakes, and marinades. If a recipe calls for buttermilk and you only have milk, add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar per cup as a substitute. See our Buttermilk converter.
Powdered milk is dehydrated milk ground to a fine powder, used to boost protein in breads or to stand in for liquid milk when reconstituted. To swap powdered for liquid milk, mix about 4 tablespoons of powder with 1 cup of water for a close match in volume and richness. See our Powdered Milk converter.
Condensed milk is milk with most of its water removed and a heavy dose of added sugar, so it is far thicker and sweeter than regular milk. The two are not a 1:1 swap; for a quick stand-in for condensed milk, gently simmer milk with sugar until reduced and thickened. See what 100 millilitres of condensed milk is in US cups.
Evaporated milk is unsweetened milk reduced by about 60% in volume, leaving a thicker, richer liquid than regular milk. To use evaporated in place of milk, dilute with an equal part water; to use milk in place of evaporated, gently simmer to reduce by half. See our Evaporated Milk converter.
Heavy cream is far richer than milk, with around 36% fat compared to 3 to 4% in whole milk. They are close in weight (240 g vs 258 g per cup); for a closer stand-in when a recipe calls for heavy cream, mix 3/4 cup of milk with 1/4 cup of melted butter.

Tinned full-fat coconut milk is much richer than dairy milk, with around 20% fat to whole milk's 3 to 4%.

Soy milk is the non-dairy milk that bakes and cooks closest to dairy, since its 3% protein curdles and foams like cow's milk. They are close in weight (245 g vs 258 g per cup); swap 1:1 by volume in custards, cream sauces, and bakes. See what 250 millilitres of soy milk is in US cups.
Oat milk is creamier in mouthfeel than dairy milk while staying lower in fat (around 3% to 3 to 4%). They are close in weight (245 g vs 258 g per cup); swap 1:1 by volume in coffee, smoothies, and bakes for a dairy-free result with a sweeter, starchier body. See our Oat Milk converter.
