Substitute for Butter in This Recipe?
I have a recipe for chocolate chip muffins that calls for flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, chocolate chips, eggs, vanilla, and melted butter, with more butter for the tins. I want to make it dairy free if possible. I already switched the supermarket chips for Enjoy Life allergen-free chips (yum pure semi-sweet chocolate I am in LOVE). What would the best substitute for melted butter be?

Re: Substitute for Butter in This Recipe?
I frequently use applesauce as a sub for butter in baking recipes. In muffins it usually turns out fine.

Re: Substitute for Butter in This Recipe?
You could easily switch it to coconut oil or applesauce. I've used both subs in the past.

I've used Earth Balance with much success! Applesauce does the trick, too.

Re: Substitute for Butter in This Recipe?
I usually just use grapeseed oil. I don't have any of the other oils, like coconut.

Re: Substitute for Butter in This Recipe?
I have substituted coconut oil for butter when making baking and love it. It is especially tasty in brownies.
