Baking Conversion Chart

The correct measurement of ingredients can hugely impact whether a recipe works or not! Below I’ve listed some common vegan baking ingredients (with lots of gluten-free ingredients).

I’ve tested all the recipes on Rainbow Nourishments using grams (unless otherwise stated) so, if you can, invest in a good scale!

Note that gram (g) and millimetre (mL) measurements have been rounded to the nearest 5, except for smaller measurements such as tablespoons.
