The nutrient-dense oil has a smooth, rich texture and subtle flavor that makes it an unbeatable replacement for butter or vegetable oil in your baking.\r\n\r\nWe tried upgrading our favorite quick brownie recipe<\/a> with coconut oil\u2014here's what happened.\r\n

Why use coconut oil?<\/h3>\r\nBrownies don't exactly need any upgrading, am I right? So why make the switch in the first place?\r\n\r\nWell, coconut oil is a healthy fat full of benefits for your hair and skin, as well as your heart. It's been proven to raise HDL (or good) cholesterol and fight off harmful bacteria. On top of all that, it gives you easy, moist brownies.\r\n

Pick the right coconut oil<\/h3>\r\nIf you don't love the flavor of coconut, don't worry; you can still bake with it. Just be sure to choose the right type of coconut oil. Unrefined coconut oil<\/a> is made from fresh coconut meat and will still have that tropical smell and taste. Refined coconut oil<\/a> comes from dried coconut meat and has a neutral flavor.\r\n
