When making nougat, you can use vegetable oil and egg oil instead of butter, but the taste is slightly different from that made with butter. Butter is animal oil, and nougat made from it has a strong aroma and tastes particularly sweet, while nougat made from vegetable oil is not so rich, but it will highlight the aroma of sugar itself.

What can be used instead of butter to make nougat?

Handmade nougat tastes sweet but not greasy, and it is healthier. The reason why it tastes better is that it is made with materials such as unsalted butter. If there is no butter at home, egg oil or vegetable oil can replace it, but the taste is slightly different.

Butter is an animal fat, and nougat made from it usually has a strong aroma and tastes very sweet. Replacing it with vegetable oil or other materials will obviously reduce the rich aroma of oil, but it will also increase the sweet aroma of sugar itself, and at the same time, it will also taste the aroma of milk and nuts, which is also very good.
