What can you substitute for butter?

Answer 1

There are a lot of things you can substitute butter with. You can use margarine, apple sauce, and even pumpkin. What I like to do when I'm baking muffins is take my dry ingredients and instead of adding eggs or butter I use a can of pumpkin. It makes the muffins extremely moist and delicious, and a lot healthier.
