The best

★ Maple + Olive Oil 1:1My go-to — best browning and shine.

Oil / Vegan butterShiniest of all; a touch less browning.

Maple syrupOn its own or with milk — nice browning, a little duller.

Just okay

Soy milkSurprisingly dark, but dull.

Milk + oilLight browning, barely any shine.

Aquafaba + mapleThe only aquafaba that browned — still light.
