Whether you are trying to reduce unhealthy saturated fats in your diet, attempting to find non-dairy options or simply don’t currently have butter on hand, finding the right butter alternatives can be hard. With so many options at the store or in your fridge (some better than others), this guide should help you find the right butter alternative for you. \u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>\u003Cstrong>Benefits of Using Butter Alternatives\u003C/strong>\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although butter substitution is not always practical, butter is high in saturated fat, making it not the best choice for your heart health. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) , 1 tablespoon (tbsp) of butter contains more than 7 g of saturated fat. Using a butter substitute can also increase the nutritional value of the foods people use them in, including baked goods.

This butter alternative contains a fatty acid known as butyrate acid, which may help to reduce inflammation and support digestive health!

When replacing butter with pumpkin puree, multiply the amount of butter needed by ¾. By incorporating one cup of pumpkin, you’ll add 7 g of fiber to the recipe, plus vitamin A and potassium, according to the USDA.

The main type of fat in olive oil is monounsaturated fat, a healthier than saturated fat found in butter.

Again, by replacing unhealthy saturated fat with healthy monounsaturated fat, this butter replacement can help reduce cholesterol and fight heart disease.

The banana adds flavor as well as nutrients like potassium and fiber to otherwise unhealthy baked goods. According to the USDA, One medium-size banana offers 422 milligrams (mg) (or about 9 percent of the daily value) of the mineral. When baking with mashed bananas instead of butter, only use ¾ of the amount in the recipe and reduce the baking time.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19231\" src=\"https://content.nurturelife.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/butter-11.jpg\" alt=\"butter alternatives | applesauce | Nurture Life\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https://content.dev.nurturelife.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/butter-11.jpg 600w, https://content.dev.nurturelife.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/butter-11-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" />\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch3>\u003Cstrong>Applesauce\u003C/strong>\u003C/h3>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Applesauce is a popular substitute for both butter and oil in baking.
