Can you replace nut butters for regular butter in baking recipes?

Yes and no. When I make Chocolate Chip Cookies, I usually replace half of the butter required with peanut butter. It gives it a peanuty taste and hopefully makes it a bit healthier cause the fats are healthier in the peanut butter. (1 Tablespoon of butter has over 7 grams of saturated fat. 1 tablespoon of peanut butter has about 1.5 grams of saturated fat. A half cup is 8 tablespoons...so that's saving 44 grams of saturated fats!)
I don't think that you'd get the right texture if you replaced *all* of the butter. And obviously you wouldn't want a nutty taste in some recipes. But for some recipes it might enhance flavor and hopefully make it a touch healthier. There are other substitutes, mostly fruit, that you can use instead. Many people use applesauce in light recipes (like cakes) and a prune puree in darker recipes, like brownies.

∙ 10y agoGenerally no. Peanut butter acts differently than butter, and it is not a dairy-base. The texture/consistency can also be very different. It should not be substituted for butter in most recipes unless otherwise specified by the recipe that this substitution is acceptable.

∙ 14y agoNo. Butter is fat, and while there is fat in peanut butter, it has a much different purpose in recipes than increasing the fat content.

Can baking soda be use in place of baking powder for all baking?
No, baking soda cannot replace baking powder in all recipes because baking powder includes a acidic ingredient along with baking soda and certain salts that cause batter or dough to rise. Baking soda is purely alkaline, and requires the addition of some type of acidic ingredient in the recipe to produce the proper rise. Different recipes are formulated for either baking soda or baking powder.I suppose you could, but the recipe will probably taste terrible - and the crust won't rise.
