Best Answer

In certain recipes yes, though I personally think the flavor is compromised when substituting oil for butter (haven't found an oil based brownie I liked better then a butter based). Your best bet it is to find a brownie recipe that specifically uses oil instead of butter for optimal results. As a general rule substitute 3 parts oil for every 4 parts butter and consider increasing the amount of sugar and eggs in the recipe to help make up for the increased density. But again I would recommend using an already oil based brownie recipe. But yes it is possible.

Yes you can! It is equal volume as well ( 1 cup oil is 2 sticks butter). However butter has water in it so it is best to add about 1 tablespoon of water to the oil for every 1/2 cup.

Not really. They have different properties and cook differently. You can sometimes use olive oil to saute something in place of butter, but if the recipe calls for butter, use butter. Sometimes you can substitute vegetable oil or canola oil, but not olive oil.

How much butter is in 1 tablespoon of canola oil?

Canola is not a dairy product so there is no butter in canola oil. However if you are looking for a substitute, you could use a tablespoon of butter instead of a tablespoon of canola oil. If you were using cups rather than tablespoons, you may need to make a slight adjustment on the liquids.http://canolaeatwell.com/ask-judy-canola-oil-and-baking/
