Brownies typically use vegetable oil, but it can be substituted with melted butter for a richer flavor. Baker and recipe developer Jessie Sheehan recommends using unsalted butter for better control over taste. This substitution is straightforward—use equal measurements of melted butter instead of oil. It's important to melt the butter before mixing to ensure it incorporates well with other wet ingredients. For an even greater flavor boost, consider using brown butter, which adds a nutty taste to the final product.
If your brownie recipe calls for vegetable oil, as many boxed brownies do, you can substitute melted butter for a richer, more flavorful final product.
Substituting the vegetable oil for melted butter is rather painless in pretty much any type of recipe. While it's typically an even swap, check your box or recipe just in case it gives a different measurement for the alternate ingredient.
