Ingredient Substitutions

These swaps are for the bulk dry mix only.

Gluten-Free

Replace the all‑purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten‑free baking blend. Pancakes may be slightly more delicate.

Dairy-Free

Use a dairy‑free milk and swap butter for neutral oil in the wet ingredients. Texture may be a touch lighter.
