What can replace butter in baking: experienced cooks named the best options
12.06.2023 10:00
Quite often, when preparing baked goods, we may need butter as one of the important components.
Some people do not introduce it because of its high calorie content: desserts already have high energy value.
Others don't eat butter for health reasons or because they don't want to eat animal products. And sometimes butter is simply not available at the right time.
What can replace the product if necessary?
Margarine
This product, of course, is not the most useful and healthy substitute for natural butter, but it replaces it perfectly in the recipe.
The baked goods turn out exactly as they should. You take as much margarine as the recipe calls for butter.
Vegetable oil
If you consider yourself a vegan, then butter can easily be replaced with a vegetable oil. However, you need slightly less vegetable oil (20%).
Coconut and olive oils are considered the best options.
Bananas
This fruit can be called unique, because it can be used to replace both eggs and butter. If we are talking about the second option (butter), then we take 50% less of it.
Also, the good news is that you can put less harmful sugar.
