Related to Vegetable Oil
Olive Oil
Close in weight (220 g vs 216 g per cup). Light olive oil works neutrally; extra virgin brings grassy, peppery notes that suit savoury bakes but can overpower a delicate cake. See our Olive Oil converter.
Applesauce
Low-fat swap for muffins and quick breads. Cuts the fat sharply and yields a denser, more cake-like crumb. Avoid in pastries and fried foods. See our Applesauce converter.
Butter
Butter is a solid fat that adds flavour and, when creamed, traps air for lift that oil cannot give. To swap oil for butter, use about 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons of butter per cup of oil, and our butter to oil converter handles the exact amount. See our Butter converter.
Ghee
Ghee is a clarified butter fat, almost the same weight as vegetable oil (218 g vs 220 g per cup) but with a nutty flavour and a higher smoke point. Swap for melted ghee where a neutral fat is not essential. See our Ghee converter.
