| Butter | Avocado is a great substitute for butter in baking (measure to measure). You certainly wouldn’t want to spread avocado on a baked potato. |
| Buttermilk | Use dairy or nondairy milk (measure to measure) with a tablespoon of either vinegar or lemon juice. In some instances, plain yogurt can also be substituted (measure to measure). |
| Cocoa Powder | Cacao powder (measure to measure), keep in mind that cacao is more bitter so you may need to increase the sweetener. |
| Lard/Shortening | Coconut oil (measure for measure) |
| Oil | Unsweetened applesauce (measure to measure) can be used in place of oil in baking cakes and muffins. |
| Sour Cream | Plain Greek yogurt |
