Instructions
Option 1 (Frying) - Canola Oil
Use canola oil in equal amounts to substitute for vegetable oil. It can handle the high heat of frying and is neutral in flavor.
Option 2 (Baking) - Butter
Use melted butter in equal amounts as vegetable oil when baking. It adds great flavor and texture, but note that your cookies will be more prone to spreading as butter has a higher liquid content.
Option 3 (Dressings) - Avocado Oil
My favorite swap for making homemade dressings and vinaigrettes is avocado oil. Use in a 1:1 equal ratio as the vegetable oil called for in any recipe.
