You may not always agree with every ingredient a recipe may have. This is why most ingredients in a recipe have a substitute, even cocoa powder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019ve forgotten to buy the ingredient or you don\u2019t like the taste, below we describe different substitutes for cocoa powder.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.foodchamps.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Cocoa-Powder.png\" alt=\"Cocoa Powder\" class=\"wp-image-7274\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.foodchamps.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Cocoa-Powder.png 750w, https:\/\/www.foodchamps.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Cocoa-Powder-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption>Cocoa Powder<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>What is Cocoa Powder Nutritional Value?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While cocoa powder doesn\u2019t provide a good source of many nutrients, it has a variety of vitamins and minerals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.onegreenplanet.org\/vegan-food\/cacao-vs-cocoa-what-you-need-to-know\/\">Coco<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.onegreenplanet.org\/vegan-food\/cacao-vs-cocoa-what-you-need-to-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">a powder<\/a> is an unsweetened powder that derives from cocoa beans. When used in baking, it gives anything a rich chocolate flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nutritionvalue.org\/Cocoa%2C_unsweetened%2C_dry_powder_nutritional_value.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">nutritional value<\/a>, cocoa powder is low in calories. A 2-tablespoon serving of cocoa powder has 25 calories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Examples of vitamins and minerals you can find in a serving of cocoa powder include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Iron<\/li><li>Calcium<\/li><li>Phosphorus<\/li><li>Zinc<\/li><li>Niacin<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Since cocoa powder comes naturally unsweetened, it&#8217;s low in sugar and fat. This makes it versatile when it comes to more health-conscious baking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cocoa powder comes in multiple different percentage levels when added to things like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodchamps.org\/difference-between-left-and-right-twix\/\">chocolate bars<\/a>. If you\u2019re looking for the most beneficial, it&#8217;s best to use 72% cocoa or more. The level of cocoa you add alters the flavor of the powder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>What Does it Taste Like?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cocoa powder is naturally unsweetened, so it doesn&#8217;t have the chocolate bar flavor you might be used to. It comes in many levels, as low as 50% to 100%. This percentage alters the taste slightly depending on how much cocoa is in the product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On its own, cocoa powder has a chocolate flavor. It\u2019s bitter since it doesn\u2019t have any natural sweetness. As you go lower on the percentage level, other ingredients, like sugar, are added to sweeten the cocoa powder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In its natural form, cocoa powder has an earthy chocolate taste, followed by a bitter after-taste. The bitterness is not everyone&#8217;s cup of tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If cocoa powder isn&#8217;t your favorite, there are a variety of other ingredients you can use as an alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7 Recommended Cocoa Substitute<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cocoa powder is great for adding a chocolate flavor to any dish, but alternatives are often needed. Whether you just ran out of your favorite tub of cocoa powder or want to use something else for that chocolate flavor, there are various alternatives you can use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Hot Cocoa Mix<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.foodchamps.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Hot-Cocoa-Mix.png\" alt=\"Hot Cocoa Mix\" class=\"wp-image-7275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.foodchamps.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Hot-Cocoa-Mix.png 750w, https:\/\/www.foodchamps.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Hot-Cocoa-Mix-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption>Hot Cocoa Mix<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Hot cocoa mix is a great substitute for cocoa powder. The main difference between the two is hot cocoa mix has sugar and milk already incorporated into it, along with some artificial flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since hot cocoa mix is also a powder, you can use the same amount of it as you would cocoa powder in any recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s best to keep in mind that hot cocoa mix has added sugar. So to not make your recipe too sweet, you should adjust accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Chocolate Chips<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.foodchamps.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Chocolate-Chips.png\" alt=\"Chocolate Chips\" class=\"wp-image-7276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.foodchamps.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Chocolate-Chips.png 750w, https:\/\/www.foodchamps.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Chocolate-Chips-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption>Chocolate Chips<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Chocolate chips can be used as a substitute for cocoa powder, although the flavor in your recipes will be slightly altered. Cocoa powder has a dark chocolate flavoring compared to sweeter chocolate chips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To incorporate chocolate chips into your recipe, you must melt them before adding them in. Half a cup of chocolate chips would be equivalent to three tablespoons of cocoa powder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like the previous substitute, it&#8217;s best to lower other sugar-based ingredients in your recipe, so your dish doesn&#8217;t come out too sweet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Baking Chocolate<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.foodchamps.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Baking-Chocolate.png\" alt=\"Baking Chocolate\" class=\"wp-image-7277\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.foodchamps.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Baking-Chocolate.png 750w, https:\/\/www.foodchamps.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Baking-Chocolate-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption>Baking Chocolate<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Baking chocolate, like cocoa powder, is unsweetened. This makes baking chocolate a great substitute for cocoa powder in your recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t have to worry about adjusting the sweetness levels. Like cocoa powder, baking chocolate also has a deep chocolate flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To substitute baking chocolate into your recipe, you should melt it and incorporate it with the butter in your recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The equivalent of 2 tablespoons of melted baking chocolate is 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Carob Powder<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.foodchamps.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Carob-Powder.png\" alt=\"Carob Powder\" class=\"wp-image-7278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.foodchamps.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Carob-Powder.png 750w, https:\/\/www.foodchamps.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Carob-Powder-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption>Carob Powder<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nutriplanet.org\/2019\/04\/carob-benefits-uses-carob-vs-cocoa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Carob powder <\/a>and cocoa powder are produced in similar ways. Rather than a chocolate flavor, it has a more nutty flavor to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the taste is not quite the same, since it&#8217;s also low in sugar, it&#8217;s a good 1-to-1 substitute. If the flavor of carob isn&#8217;t prominent enough for you, you can always add more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Dark Chocolate<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.foodchamps.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Dark-Chocolate.png\" alt=\"Dark Chocolate\" class=\"wp-image-7279\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.foodchamps.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Dark-Chocolate.png 750w, https:\/\/www.foodchamps.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Dark-Chocolate-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption>Dark Chocolate<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Dark chocolate has a very similar taste to cocoa powder. Dark chocolate is processed and does contain sugar but not enough that you would have to alter your recipe much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since dark chocolate comes as a bar, you would need to melt it down. This would make 2 tablespoons of dark chocolate equivalent to 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Chocolate Syrup<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.foodchamps.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Chocolate-Syrup.png\" alt=\"Chocolate Syrup\" class=\"wp-image-7280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.foodchamps.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Chocolate-Syrup.png 750w, https:\/\/www.foodchamps.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Chocolate-Syrup-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption>Chocolate Syrup<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Chocolate syrup is a quick alternative to cocoa powder if the recipe only calls for a small amount of cocoa powder. Chocolate syrup is very different in terms of how it&#8217;s processed and flavored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have to use a lot of chocolate syrup to replace cocoa powder, it will likely alter the outcome of your recipe. If you plan to substitute with chocolate syrup, 5 spoons of chocolate syrup are equivalent to a tablespoon of cocoa powder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since chocolate syrup is a liquid, your recipe may be more liquid than needed. You may need to alter the flour amount or water amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Raw Cocoa Powder<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.foodchamps.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Raw-Cocoa-Powder.png\" alt=\"Raw Cocoa Powder\" class=\"wp-image-7281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.foodchamps.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Raw-Cocoa-Powder.png 750w, https:\/\/www.foodchamps.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Raw-Cocoa-Powder-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption>Raw Cocoa Powder<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Raw Cocao Powder is very similar to Cocoa Powder, except it\u2019s less processed. Since it&#8217;s essentially the same ingredient but with more nutrients and health benefits, it&#8217;s a great substitute for regular cocoa powder in your recipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be used in a 1-to-1 ratio when replacing cocoa powder in whatever dish you\u2019re cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since it\u2019s less processed, it is more absorbent. This absorbancy may result in you needing to adjust the amount of liquid in your recipe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dark Chocolate, Raw Cocoa Powder, Chocolate Syrup are the
