I have Elana’s cookbook and I’ve been substituting butter for grapeseed oil. I use the same measurement amount. I don’t melt the butter – I use it at room temperature.

Also, I use sugar in place of agave nectar just fine. The ratio I found on the internet is 2/3 c. sugar = 1 c. agave. If replacing agave with sugar, also increase any liquids in the recipe by a 1/4 c.

Elana’s recipes are out of this world!!! Everything I’ve made from her almond flour cookbook has been a hit with EVERYONE.

not sure what Elana would recommend, but I’d stick with canola if you don’t have grapeseed…olive is a heavier flavor…grapeseed is a healthy oil and has no flavor, excellent for anything….canola would be okay for baking.

I don’t have any grapeseed oil on hand. Could I use olive oil or canola?
