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
