favorite recipes that can sub coconut oil for butter

[Guest guest]

We are still dairy-free, so I have not introduced butter or yogurt. I went to

the scd

recipes site as directed. Really good stuff! I know I can always always

experiment

exchanging coconut oil for butter, but anyone recommend recipes that you've

tried

and you know work well with coconut oil? Thanks

All of the recipes will work with coconut oil.

Butter and coconut oil are just fats. But they have some similar

characteristics- being semi-solids at room temp and a nice, pleasant

flavor in baked goods (as opposed to something like olive oil, which

isn't all that great in cookies).

If the recipe calls for a large amount of butter, you will need to

decrease the coconut oil to about 3/4 of the called for amount.

Coconut oil is " wetter " (it makes the recipes a bit wetter than

butter). So, 1 cup of butter would be just 3/4 cup coconut oil.
