What to use instead of coconut oil

If a recipe calls for coconut oil and you don't have any, you can use any of these alternatives, from the closest to the least similar:

• Sunflower oil

  Equivalent with adjustment

  It's liquid: in sweets that need a solid fat, the result is less firm.

• Olive oil

  Equivalent with adjustment

  It's liquid and has its own flavor, which shows in sweets.
