best low fat alternative to butter?

hi

Looking for an alternative to butter, that I can use in my flapjack recipe which calls for 115 g butter. Ive tried other recipes that use less but the result is more brittle and I like a soft moist flapjack.

Is the olive oil spread any good for cooking or is it just as unhealthy with a misleading title?

thanks

as far as I'm concerned there is no substitute for butter, just lots of spreads full of stuff with long chemically names.
And don't forget the oats in flapjack, why it's positively bursting with wholesome healthiness

No alternative to butter.

Anything else is the devils work

Sorry, that's not very helpful is it?

No alternative to butter

Butter uis fattening, but so id any other spread.

However,. butter hasn;t been hydrogenated or mixed with shit, like all the other stuff has

I preffer butter but I recently bought Country life and it has butter and vegetable oil = salt - spreads easily and tastes okay.

This is an alternative to butter which is supposed to taste like but but have 75% less saturated fat which isn't to say it's calorie free. Never used it, don't know if it's any good.

Try adding less butter, and put some mashed banana or finely chopped apple into your flapjacks, I bet that'll keep them fairly moist.

Too many buts. (which is what you get if you eat too many buttery flapjacks!)

You could use spread made from fresh avocado, it's lovely and moist.

Just have one flapjack instead of two, all the buttery flavour half the fat!
