What Are the Best Free-From-Butter Substitutes for Baking? 🌱🧁

on

Hey, fellow bakers! 👋

I've been experimenting with butter alternatives lately and wanted to share my findings for anyone interested in reducing or completely cutting out butter from their baking. Whether you're going dairy-free, vegan, or just looking to try something new, there are some awesome substitutes that maintain flavor and texture without sacrificing quality.

Here are my top picks:

  1. Coconut Oil: Great for cookies and cakes. Offers a rich texture, but might add a slight coconut flavor. I use it in a 1:1 ratio for butter.
  2. Applesauce: Fantastic for lowering fat. It adds moisture but can make baked goods a bit more cake-like. Best for muffins and quick breads.
  3. Greek Yogurt: Adds a nice creamy texture with a tangy flavor. Great for cakes and breads. Use half the amount of Greek yogurt compared to butter.
  4. Avocado: Perfect for dense bakes like brownies. Adds richness and healthy fats, but can slightly alter the color. Use a 1:1 ratio.
  5. Olive Oil: Ideal for savory bakes or Mediterranean-inspired dishes. Use ¾ cup for every cup of butter.

Anyone else experimenting with butter substitutes? What's your go-to alternative, and how has it worked out in your recipes?

Would love to hear your thoughts! 🙌
