What are alternatives for arrowroot powder in baking?

Question

Making vegan brownies and recipe calls for 1 Tbs. I don't have any arrowroot powder and can't get to the store. Will cream of tartar do, or can I use something else?

Answer 1

Arrowroot powder is a thickner. You can substitute corn starch. Not sure why you are using arrowroot in brownies. I checked three different vegan brownie recipies by doing a google search and none called for arrowroot. All recipies.com has a nice vegan brownie recipie.

Answer 2

Arrowroot Alternative
