Vegan butter, margarine, and shortening are easy to substitute - there are several vegan butter products on the market that taste just like the real thing, and there are a couple of easy substitutions that you can make in the kitchen using common ingredients.
For substitutes found around the house, try these:
-
Flax oil: Use it as a topping for potatoes, rice,
popcorn, etc. Note: DO NOT cook with this! -
Applesauce: Use for sweet baking only. Use the same amount you would for butter. Especially yummy in brownies! For muffins, etc., replace up to 3/4 of the butter with applesauce, using vegan butter for the rest.
