Can you substitute vegetable oil with butter for baking brownies?

I am trying to make Brownies out of box, but I need to use butter...


the box calls for 2/3 cup of vegetable oil, but i am adding a stick of butter.


can i use the butter as a substitute? or will the fat content make the brownies bad?


and if i am able to substitute, is there a ratio of where butter and vegetable oil equal?Can you substitute vegetable oil with butter for baking brownies?
Yes, butter is delicious and I have been known to substitute it on purpose!





Melt the butter first, and remember that 1 stick = 1/2 cup of butter...so do the math and figure out what 2/3 cup of butter equals.





A helpful trick is to remember that butter sticks are divided into 8 tablespoons...and there are 16 tablespoons in a cup, so you would need a little over 10 tablespoons to make up 2/3 cup of butter.





Good job on using the butter. It will make your brownies taste much more home-made!Can you substitute vegetable oil with butter for baking brownies?
Yes you can. The ratio is equal.
