What can you substitute for butter?

There are a lot of things you can substitute butter with. You can use margarine, apple sauce, and even pumpkin.

It makes the muffins extremely moist and delicious, and a lot healthier.

What can be used instead of eggs or butter in a cookie recipe?

In many things you can use margarine, lard, or shortening instead of butter, or a combination of any of them. I actually use 1/3 butter, 1/3 shortening, and 1/3 lard for the fat in my homemade pie crust, which gives excellent results. Just keep in mind that margarine has a higher water content than butter, so depending on what you are baking, the results may be just a little different than with butter.

Can you substitute margarine for shortening in a muesli slice recipe?

Margarine is shortening and can be used in place of butter or other shortenings in baking, though the flavour won't be the same. In many recipes some feel the best results in texture and flavour are obtained by using butter or half-and-half butter and lard.
