babysparkler Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 (edited) I promised the kids waffles for dinner and am out of veggie oil. I have olive oil, peanut oil, butter and crisco... can I use any of these? UPDATE: Well, I pulled out the peanut oil and it was WAY beyond expiration, so I chose to do melted crisco (since I rarely use it and wanted to use it up). It worked perfectly and the kids were thrilled! I added chopped up frozen blueberries, so if there was a different taste, they wouldn't have noticed :) Thanks everyone!

jentancalann Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 have any applesauce? that would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephanie Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I've never substituted in waffles, but I use applesauce anytime I'm out of oil in cakes. It seems to make it even more moist. I'm no chef, but I don't see why the other oils wouldn't work? But you better wait for someone else to answer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onceuponatime Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 The peanut oil will work just the same as vegetable oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessed3x Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I have used applesauce in our waffles before... Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mama_Rana Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I use olive oil in pretty much everything. My mom says she can taste the different, but I guess my palate isn't as discerning as hers. I could also see using peanut oil; I just ate a waffle spread with peanut butter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisy Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I'd use melted butter. I think it will taste the best. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belacqua Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I'd use melted butter. I think it will taste the best. :D I second that. My go-to waffle recipe calls for melted butter (though as often as not I'm too lazy and end up using oil). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarlaS Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I'd use melted butter. I think it will taste the best. :D :iagree: I've done it--and it tastes awesome. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookfiend Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I'd use melted butter. I think it will taste the best. :D A woman after my own heart! GO BUTTER:thumbup: (Also it will keep the same consistancy and help your waffles from sticking) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretty in Pink Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I use applesauce in place of oil all the time in waffles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teachin'Mine Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I'd use melted butter. I think it will taste the best. :D :iagree: We never use oil for waffles, pancakes, or any baked goods - always melted butter. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuvToRead Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I just made waffles tonight with melted butter - Yummy. Can you really go wrong with butter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 The peanut oil will work just the same as vegetable oil. The olive oil will, as well. I use olive oil all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaS Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Originally Posted by jentancalann have any applesauce? that would work. :iagree: definitely the most healthy option. But butter sounds way yummier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justamouse Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Butter. The Joy of Cooking says to use an ungodly amount of melted butter and more if you want even more delish waffles. They are right. Crisp on the outside and luscious on the inside. We make them every Sunday morning and by Friday morning (hee) I can't wait for Sunday morning. Then we've been taking the leftovers (or making extra) to make waffle icecream sandwiches for Sunday dessert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Jessica* Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Can you replace the entire amount of oil with applesauce? I'm trying to get my kids away from cereal for breakfast, so we've been eating whole wheat waffles with peanut butter or fruit sauce. If I could replace all or most of the oil with applesauce I would be so happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
