Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is a versatile fat derived from the meat of mature coconuts. It is solid at room temperature but melts easily, making it an excellent substitute for butter in baking, particularly in vegan recipes. Its high saturated fat content provides a tender crumb and enhances the structure of baked goods. Coconut oil has a subtle, sweet, nutty flavor that complements a variety of baked items like cookies, cakes, and pastries. Its ability to remain stable at high temperatures is ideal for baking, offering moisture and a rich texture.
