butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil provides a dairy-free option with a similar texture.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk is lower in calories, while water can be used to reduce costs.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey adds sweetness with a different flavor profile.

Start by adding 3 cups of flour into a mixing bowl.

Add 2 teaspoons of baking powder and 2 teaspoons of salt to the flour.

Whisk the dry ingredients together until combined.

Pour in 3 cups of 2% milk and create a well in the center.

Mix until the consistency resembles pancake batter.

Gradually add 1 cup of flour at a time, mixing with a wooden spoon until combined.

Continue adding flour until a formed dough ball is achieved, adjusting based on moisture in the air.

Lightly dust hands with flour and bring the dough to a lightly floured surface.

Cut the dough ball in half to make two variations of bannock.

Press each half onto a baking pan, ensuring they are shaped evenly.

Poke holes throughout the dough to allow gases to escape while baking.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).

Bake the bannock for 15 minutes, then turn them over and bake for an additional 5 minutes until lightly browned.
