Substitution of butter/oil
Any suggestions to sub out the butter/oil?? Although oil I may opt to go coconut oil as it does tend to enhance chocolate. Could butter be replaced with applesauce or something else? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
how to substitute for butter in baking
Hi, J in MA. Coconut oil is a good idea. As far as the butter substitution, if you want to use unsweetened applesauce be sure to use half as much as the butter measurement. Since this recipe calls for ½ cup margarine/butter, use ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce. You could also try substituting with mashed avocado. That sub is done in equal amounts.
Sounds delicious. Will try.
