There are lots of great butter substitutes in baking, depending on what you’re making and the vibe you want! 🍰 Here are the best options:
🧈 Top Butter Substitutes:
-
Coconut oil (solid or melted)
-
Good for cookies, cakes, and muffins. Gives a slight coconut flavor unless you use refined coconut oil.
-
-
Vegetable oil
-
Great for cakes and brownies. Keeps baked goods moist, but you’ll miss the buttery flavor.
-
-
Applesauce (unsweetened)
-
Perfect for muffins, quick breads, and some cakes. It makes things super moist and reduces fat!
-
-
Greek yogurt or sour cream
-
Adds richness and moisture, especially good in cakes and loaf breads.
-
-
Mashed banana
-
Works for muffins and sweet breads (hello banana bread!). Adds sweetness and a little banana flavor.
-
-
Nut butters (like almond or peanut butter)
-
Best for cookies and bars. Adds richness and a nutty flavor.
