Swaps that keep this dish what it is. The prices on this page are for the recipe as written.

• Vegan

  • 125 g Dairy-free spread instead of salted butter
  • 20 g Ground flaxseed instead of large eggs
  • 80 g Coconut yoghurt instead of Greek yoghurt

  Mix the flaxseed with 75 ml water and leave it 5 minutes to thicken before whisking it in where the eggs went; the loaf may need 5 to 10 minutes longer, so check with a skewer.

• Gluten-free

  • 250 g Gluten-free plain flour instead of plain flour

  Let the batter rest for 10 minutes before baking so the gluten-free flour hydrates; it may need a few extra minutes, so check with a skewer.

• Dairy-free

  • 125 g Dairy-free spread instead of salted butter
  • 80 g Coconut yoghurt instead of Greek yoghurt

Swaps are suggestions — check labels if you are cooking for an allergy.
