The texture of your cookie and amount of spreading will both be affected. Try experimenting with our Soft & Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies. Softened butter is a semi or solid fat, so vegetable shortening or coconut oil (not melted) is a good replacement.Melted butter is a liquid, so using oil or melted coconut oil makes sense.
On the other hand, if your cookie recipe calls for melted butter, vegetable oil can be subbed, because it has a similar consistency.Ĭonsider the way butter is being used in your recipe before substituting another ingredient. beating butter and sugar together until light and fluffy-butter is needed for texture and structure (think scratch cakes!) and substitutes should be avoided. Butter adds flavor, moisture and tenderness to baked goods.Flavor could be altered, depending on the substitute used.īutter Substitutions What does butter do? Subbing in mashed banana or applesauce will be acceptable, but the overall texture will likely be cakier. Quick breads tend to be more forgiving in terms of texture. If a quick bread calls for two eggs, try subbing in mashed banana or applesauce for one of the eggs.A substitute is more likely to work when it’s only replacing one egg.
Always consider the number of eggs you are replacing. Potential substitutes for eggs include: yogurt, applesauce and mashed banana. One egg is approximately equal to 1/4 cup liquid. In order to achieve the best result, the replacement ingredient should have a texture similar to that of an egg, and the quantity should also be equivalent.However, eggs are necessary in some baked goods for peak performance (think meringue!), so cannot always be substituted. They act as the glue that hold and bind your dry ingredients together and also help your baked good to rise. In baking, eggs add richness, moisture and structure.When thinned with whole milk it can imitate the creamy mouthfeel of heavy cream in mashed potatoes and other mashed vegetables, as well as in soups and pastas, though it won’t be quite as rich and will lend a slightly tangy flavor. Full-fat Greek yogurt + whole milk: Whole milk plain Greek yogurt contains about 5% fat.Just know it has a slightly caramelized, cooked flavor. Even though it contains only about 8% fat, its thickness can mimic heavy cream’s richness in sauces, vegetable dishes, and even ice cream. Evaporated milk: This canned product has about 60% of its water removed, which means it’s quite thick.It’s not ideal in place of heavy cream in desserts, but makes a good albeit less rich substitute for heavy cream in soups, sauces, and quiche. It can be used as a one-to-one equivalent. Half-and-half: This dairy product is simply half cream and half milk and contains about 10.5% to 12% fat.
If the light cream falls closer to 30% fat, it’s the only dairy substitute that can actually be whipped like heavy cream, though it won’t form quite as stiff peaks. It can be used as an equivalent in just about any recipe.
