Discover how to use coconut oil, applesauce, or Greek yogurt as perfect butter substitutes.
βοΈ The Golden Ratio
1 cup coconut oil = 1 cup butter
Best substitutes
| Replace with | Ratio | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Coconut Oil | 1:1 replacement | Cakes, cookies |
| Applesauce | 1/2 cup applesauce = 1/2 cup butter | Muffins |
Butter is 80% fat and 20% water. Coconut oil matches the fat perfectly. Applesauce acts as a binder but makes cakes denser.
