Question

What do vegans use for butter...what is the substitution?

Answer 1

I use Earth Balance spread when I microwave-bake a potato or to spread on biscuits..  

For baking, I use either Willow Run or Earth Balance buttery sticks.

Answer 2

There is vegetable margarine made from olive oil, or using a high-quality virgin olive oil itself, or using a nut butter.  I'm partial to pumpkin-seed butter myself but almond butter is also nice.  Nuts have lots of oils in them.

Answer 3

They use low temperature 50 weight linseed oil.  Don't use the one with PTFE added.

Answer 4

Earth Balance Spread or Organic smart balance are both vegan

Answer 5

There is a vegan butter called Earth Balance Natural Buttery Spread. You can find it at Whole Foods and other health food stores.

Answer 6

It depends on what I'm making. When I'm making cookies I use Earth Balance, when I'm frying something (like stir fry) I use olive oil, and when I'm making bread in my bread machine I use peanut butter or almond butter.
