This is probably sarcastic, but in case it's not: Applesauce is a vegan substitute for eggs, not oil. There is no substitute for oil as many oils are already vegan. You can definitely substitute animal-based fats like butter and lard for others like coconut oil to make a recipe vegan.

It was sarcastic/joking, but wow I had no idea! They seem so dissimilar, I never would've thought that would work. Didn't think I'd learn this much about baking today lol, thanks!

How would using lard instead of coconut oil make something vegan?

[-] Neato@ttrpg.network 3 points 11 months ago

I meant the other way. Substitute out lard and substitute in coconut oil.

"Substitute X for Y" means "replace Y with X," i.e., "for Y, use X instead."

"Substitute X with Y" would mean "replace X with Y."

Now, you're going to just brag around with that knowledge of yours, and teach everyone how to write things so that things are correctly understood by the reader?

That's a helpful goal, go on, please

I've heard it both ways.

(The above is 50% sincere and 50% a Psych reference.)

Yes, people sometimes say things incorrectly, like the commenter I originally replied to.

The OP graphic says "I followed the recipie exactly", which they did not, so somehow I doubt that "facts" matter to them, who are making hyperbolic claims for emotional appeals rather than descriptive purposes.
