Does anyone know of a plant based, low-fat butter substitute

17. I use coconut oil, olive oil and butter

depending on what I'm making. I use a combination of these fats in the recipes. For baking, usually about 1/3 butter, 2/3s coconut oil. For gravy, mostly olive oil, but maybe a bit of butter for flavor. I think my daughter uses Smart Balance products, but I'm not sure which variety.

I just got a bottle of avocado oil by accident, but it can be used like olive oil, so far so good. Can you use nut oils? I've seen walnut oil in the store. If I treat myself to bacon, I save the fat and add it to savory recipes.

Here is a link to some alternatives, at least for baking: https://www.everydayhealth.com/news/healthy-alternatives-to-butter/
My daughter has made gf chocolate cookie bars with chick pea flour or paste and they are stunningly good.
