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 buttermilk in ounces.

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 powdered milk in ounces.

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 condensed milk in ounces.

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. See heavy cream in ounces.

Tinned full-fat coconut milk is much richer than dairy milk, with around 20% fat to whole milk's 3 to 4%. They are close in weight (240 g vs 258 g per cup); swap 1:1 by volume for a dairy-free result, but expect a coconut flavour and thicker body in curries and bakes. See coconut milk in ounces.

Almond milk is much thinner than dairy milk, with around 1 to 2% fat compared to 3 to 4% in whole milk. They are close in weight (245 g vs 258 g per cup); swap 1:1 by volume in pancakes, cocoa, and cake batters for a dairy-free result, with a slightly less rich crumb. See almond milk in ounces.

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 soy milk in ounces.

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.
