Replacement for peanut oil in my cookies?



I am making vegan chocolate cookies today. I’ve made them before & they were delicious. The only liquid in the recipe is peanut oil and some soy milk. This time around, I don’t have peanut oil. I do, however, have canola, corn, and vegetable oil. Which would make the best substitution, or does it matter at all? Why would the recipe call for peanut instead of one of those?

Any of them should work. Peanut oil is one of the best for frying – it has a high scorch threshold I believe and a very subtly nut taste which really works well for frying.

I’ve never baked with it but i’m sure it’s fine for that too. Canola, corn and vegetable oil are mild, tasteless oils that work great for baking – so I think you can safely sub out any of them.

It was prob in the recipe b/c that is the author of the recipe’s preferred oil. No other reason. I cook with olive oil all the time so all my recipes list olive oil. It’s just my preference.

Happy baking.

Maybe they are suppose to be a crisper cookie so peanut oil would work best for that, I would go with vegetable oil since it doesn’t have any prominent taste to it.

Hi, the Canola might be a bit strong, i would use the vegetable oil, also sunflower oil is good for cakes and baking! :)

I often use apple sauce instead of oil in my baking :)
