Are you trying to cook without refined oils? I have you covered with refined oil free recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even dessert!
💡 Tips for Cooking Without Refined Oils
- In baking, you can often replace the oil with applesauce, though that will change the finished texture. You can also use olive oil, though that flavor can come through a little bit. It depends on what you’re baking.
- For pan frying, choose unrefined oils, like olive oil and unrefined coconut oil instead of ingredients like vegetable oil.
- For roasting vegetables, use whole oils or replace the oil with maple syrup, soy sauce, or both to get delicious, browned results without losing that moisture that prevents drying out.
These are seriously the BEST refined oil free recipes. Instead of refined oils, I’m using unprocessed oils like olive oil and unrefined coconut oil. And some of these recipes are completely free of all oils! Those use whole fats, like nut and seed butters, avocado, and other oil substitutes to replace the fat without sacrificing texture and flavor.
