What can I substitute for canola or vegetable oil in baking.

That will not alter the taste of baked goods?

I've had rather good success with substituting apple sauce for 1/2 the oil. I've never tried substituting it all, though, and I don't really think it works well in cookies.

I have used (melted if it's below 76° in your house, since it's a solid at 75° and below and liquid at 76° and above) expeller-pressed coconut oil in baking w/ great success and no taste change. The virgin CO might affect it, but probably not much. The EPCO is cheaper, so I just use it and save the VCO for things I want the coconut taste to be stronger in.

I have had good success with extra virgin coconut oil.

butter

:iagree:

 

I use applesauce and sometimes yogurt (depends on the ingredients).

[Joker]

I use applesauce.

[ktgrok]

coconut oil, or melted butter.

[GoVanGogh]

A light flavored olive oil will not alter the taste.

[QueenCat]

Plain, low fat yogurt.

I've used coconut oil and butter with better results than with applesauce, but all three will work.

[Blueridge]

I use grapeseed oil. :)

[BrookValley.]

I use safflower oil in place of canola or soy (vegetable) oil in baking.

I've used applesause and olive oil (extra virgin) and no one seems to notice.

This is what I use too.

[mchel210]

yes... :)

 

I use whatever I have in the house and Ive never noticed a difference.

[LaxMom]

For what reason?

 

Yes. And what are you baking? Different fats behave differently, and substitutions will affect the end products in different ways.
