CHECK OUT THIS BUTTER SUBSTITUTE
My kitchen looks like a baker is living here. Maybe not Ina Garten, but more like Jennifer Garner’s Pretend Kitchen Show with her mom.
My Kitchenaid mixer is on the kitchen counter. The dry ingredients are organized in the cutest (made in the USA) glass jars with matching labels.
And I love to buy hardback cookbooks even though I grab most recipes from Pinterest.
I own almost a dozen baking sheets, neatly stored in their designated cookie sheet cabinet. I argued successfully for a six-burner stove and a pot filler kitchen faucet.
The truth is it took me a year to remember to use the pot filler. I don’t think I have used the back left element on the stove.
My friends and sister are not surprised by this. I rarely follow a recipe from start to finish. Whenever I call my sister about a new recipe she asks, “Did you follow the recipe?”
I have a habit of making split-second, last-minute baking substitutes. If I am out of Cilantro, I will substitute something similar.
Who runs up to the grocery store to buy tapioca flour?
And what is Harissa?
And then I discovered Libby encourages substitutions.
Here is a simple butter substitute for baking if you feel like you ate all your calories for the week on Tuesday while watching Nobody Wants This on Netflix.
Here is a simple tip for a butter substitute for baking.
I found this butter substitute tip while grocery shopping. I grabbed a few cans of
pumpkin (’tis the season).
BUTTER SUBSTITUTE
It wasn’t until I got home to unpack my groceries that I noticed the lid on Libby’s pumpkin can.
The best part is this is a shelf-stable item so it can sit in your pantry until you crave these cookies or you need a last-minute baking substitute for butter or eggs or oil.
It is a genius idea that Libby listed the suggestions on the can and include the measurements for the substitute.
BUTTER SUBSTITUTE OPTIONS
This butter substitute works with sauces, muffins and cookies. In some recipes, pumpkin can be used as an oil and egg substitute too.
An added bonus is pumpkin is vegan friendly and loaded with vitamins. Curious of the benefits? You can check out all the benefits of pumpkin here.

This is hilarious. We always keep a can of pumpkin in the pantry in case Nola gets an upset yummy. I love to use pumpkin in recipes in the fall. Never heard of using pumpkin puree as a butter substitute (I don’t know what my culinary school instructors would have made of that.) I would try it in a quick bread or cookie recipe but not in a roux or beurre blanc sauce.
