Oil To Yogurt 5 Butter Substitutes You Can Use For Baking

By Aanchal Mathur

Baking requires only a few ingredients that are used as a base of baking. This includes butter too. However, if you are looking for substitutes for butter, we’ve got you covered. 

Oil

This is by far the best substitute for butter; any oil that is available at your home can be used for baking cakes and muffins, as it gives them a soft texture. 

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil has a similar consistency as butter and can be a great substitute. If your coconut oil is hard, make sure to melt it in a microwave for 30 seconds. 

Yogurt

The soft and creamy yoghurt is full of fats which makes it a perfect substitute for butter. Besides this, it provides a rich flavour to the baked goodies too. 

Ghee

Ghee is a clarified butter without lactose and milk solids. You can use ghee just like you would use butter. Make sure to keep ghee at room temperature before using it for baking. 

Apple Sauce

Apple sauce is another great substitute for butter. It can be easily used for baking cookies, breads, cakes, etc. Just grab your jar of apple sauce and add it in equal amounts as butter.
