Butter.A further response:Since margarine was developed as an inexpensive substitute for butter, butter is also a good substitute for margarine.

Each type of fat will produce a slightly different baked product.

I personally use yogurt in place of butter in banana bread and oatmeal cookies, any cookies actually. I have never tried muffins but assume it works about the same. For cookies it turns out very light and they puff up better, for bread it helps keep it moist and tastes great.
Canola can substitute 2 sticks of butter by using 16 tbsp of oil. For every 1/4 cup butter, use 4 tablespoons vegetable oil.
In baking, you can substitute apple sauce for most of the oil. For sauteing, you can use butter, but it may burn. For frying you have to use oil
not for creaming sugar or for making a laminated dough. In general vegetable shortenings aren't that healthy and should be replaced by butter.
