I have this recipe that I just received from "The Biggest Loser" that calls for reduced fat buttermilk. Now my question is can I replace the buttermilk and use almond milk? would this work? has anyone ever tried?

Here is the recipe.

Blueberry Pancakes!
Enjoy these breakfast treats with friends

For brunch buddies, double, triple or quadruple this recipe with success. The batter will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.

1/2 cup reduced-fat buttermilk
1/2 cup whole-grain oat flour
1 large egg white, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! spray
1/2 cup fresh or frozen (not thawed) blueberries
Sugar-free, low-calorie pancake syrup (optional)
100% fruit orange marmalade spread (optional)

Preheat the oven to 200°F.

In a small bowl, combine the buttermilk, flour, egg white, baking soda, vanilla, and salt. Whisk just until blended. Stir in the blueberries. Let stand for 10 minutes.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until it is hot enough for a spritz of water to sizzle on it. With an oven mitt, briefly remove the pan from the heat to mist lightly with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! cooking spray.

Return the pan to the heat. Pour the batter in 1/8-cup dollops onto the skillet to form 3 or 4 pancakes. Cook for about 2 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the tops and the bottoms are golden brown. Flip. Cook for about 2 minutes, or until browned on the bottom. Transfer to an oven-proof plate.

Cover with aluminum foil. Place in the oven to keep warm. Repeat with cooking spray and the remaining batter to make 8 pancakes total.

Place 2 pancakes on each of 4 serving plates. Serve immediately with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! spray, syrup, and/or fruit spread.

    Thank you very for sharing this recipe. :flowerforyou:
  • I have never made this recipe, but I bake a lot and I am familiar with buttermilk. I think that almond milk would be too watery for these pancakes. I usually substitute evaporated milk for buttermilk. If you are trying to avoid dairy then I would try lactaid. Of course, this is my personal opinion, not really one of science.
    I would love to hear how it turns out though!
