What can I use to replace coconut oil?

NinaBvegan

I am allergic to coconut! UGH! I love it and it seems to be used everywhere in recipes as oil especially.

Any suggestions on a good replacement?? And how about in desserts?? It is common there too...

thanks

Thanks, I'll try it... I have also heard safflower oil???

NinaBvegan

Thanks, I'll try it.. I just ordered some...

Desserts are also hard because flaked coconut is also added to many recipes... should I just omit it, or replace it with something??

Thanks

I'll try it... I like white chocolate...

looks like your cat enjoys cheesecake too : } yumm!

Thanks! I'm sorry too!! I love coconut!! I test it once a year.. maybe I can gradually introduce it back into my system..

Too many projects now, I have been a vegan for 1.5 years....75% raw -- doing a 30 raw food challenge...want to experiment more with preparing desserts and want to buy a dehydrator...

Wow!! That is interesting..

I tried a coconut curry soup last year, I'm sure it was made from the milk... My throat was def irritated, but nothing major..

Maybe I will try the oil... What about water? Coconut water is very popular in fitness centers...

thanks!
