Coconut oil makes a great swap both in and out of the kitchen, and one tasty reason to use it instead of other fats when baking is the extra moisture it adds to your baked goods. You get the right consistency and moist results without adding heaviness.

Since coconut oil is solid at room temperature, it adds richness and locks in moisture without making your baked goods feel greasy or heavy. If you don’t like the taste of coconut, look for refined coconut oil, which has a more mild flavour.

Plus, it’s the perfect time to grab an ingredient as long-lasting as coconut oil so you don’t have to visit the shops too much given the times.
