15 Delicious Recipes That Don't Require Olive Oil

purple ube mochi

With olive oil prices (plus the rest of our grocery store go-tos) rising, we’re more aware than ever of just how many recipes feature this classic cooking staple. Trying to cut back on such a widely-used ingredient can leave you feeling less than confident with your meal prep. Keep reading for some delicious recipes that feature olive oil alternatives so you can make yummy food and save some cash at the same time.

The following recipes contain these oil alternatives. There’s a good chance you already have them in your pantry, but even if you don’t, they’re super easy to find!

  • Butter
  • Avocado oil
  • Coconut oil
  • Grapeseed oil

Recipes That Use Olive Oil Alternatives

    Avocado Oil

    French Crêpe Recipe

    Next time you’re binge watching Emily in Paris, make yourself a healthy portion of this recipe (which works great for breakfast and dinner, FYI). It’s sweet, chocolatey, and even though it’s bready, it doesn’t weigh you down.

    Gut-Friendly Zucchini Cacio e Pepe Recipe

    We love pasta recipes, but sometimes the pasta recipes don’t love us back. Gluten-free noodles and nutritional yeast (a swap for cheese) mean that this dish is delicious and gut-friendly at the same time.

    ​Coconut Oil

    Chocho Carrot Muffins

    These muffins are super healthy, but they’re also good enough that the family will want seconds. In addition to the coconut oil, they feature high-protein, high-fiber chocho flour, applesauce, and cinnamon.

    Gluten-Free Lemon Cake

    You only need a little bit of coconut oil to grease the pan for this cake. Lemon recipes make for the perfect spring treat (especially if said treat combines lemon and lavender). This recipe doesn’t call for icing, but feel free to drizzle some honey if you want another layer of sweet.

    Healthy Chocolate Sunbutter Cups

    Prepare for Easter candy season with a batch of these babies. You can use honey or maple syrup, but we prefer the thinner consistency of maple syrup especially when paired with nut butter.

    Baked Brussels Sprouts with Honey Glaze

    We can — and do — eat Brussels sprouts in every form they are presented to us (hello Keto Cheesy Brussels Sprouts Casserole). This honey glazed recipe is definitely the sweetest one we’ve seen yet.

    ​Grapeseed Oil

    Dominique Ansel’s Real Cronut Recipe

    We’ve never met a donut we didn’t like. This donut and croissant hybrid automatically gets two thumbs up from us. Make sure you stock up on your favorite sprinkles because you’re going to need them.

    Beef Bulgogi Meatballs

    These Korean meatballs are the perfect thing to go with pickles, on sliders, with a sweet and spicy sauce — or all of the above. With so many side and condiment options, everyone is sure to love this dish.

    Butter

    Butter Boards

    If you’re a butter fan, then you definitely need to try butter boards. Whether you make one larger board, or a smaller individual board, have plenty of breads, plus edible flowers and salts for a garnish, on hand.

    Ube Butter Mochi

    We’re totally confident that these chewy, buttery treats make for the perfect dessert. But whether they taste better on the day that you make them or a couple of days later is totally up to you. Either way, we’ll take some extra coconut flakes please.

    Wine Butter

    Make these five butters to accompany appetizers at your next dinner party. With sweet and savory options, it’s like a butter flight!

    ​Oil Free Recipes

    Stuffed Avocado

    We already love eating avocados on toast and out of a bowl, but using the avocado as the bowl? Genius. Stuff with scallions and shrimp, and enjoy.

    BBQ Dressing

    There are plenty of salad dressings that have oil as a main ingredient. Next time you’re craving a salad, opt for this creamy BBQ dressing (which has mayo, garlic, and onion) instead.

    Paleo Air Fryer Chicken Tenders

    Fried food without a drop of oil?! It’s almost too good to be true. Honestly though, we can’t imagine life without our air fryer. Once you make these tenders, we’re pretty sure you’ll feel the same way.

    Easy Avocado Pasta Recipe

    Our favorite pasta dishes are always creamy, and we can thank avocados (and cream cheese) here. The chili flakes, garlic, and lime juice make for an unbeatable combo.

    “Looks like I need to buy camping gear cause I'll be in that line before sunrise 🤩,” one more fan commented.

    If you can't stop talking about Severance season 2, you're not alone. The Apple TV+ show has totally taken over the internet (and all my group chats) and as the mysteries at Lumon continue to unfold, there's one heartbreaking, viral theory surrounding this week's episode, and Gemma, that has the internet in a tizzy.

    Keep reading for the most insane Severance season 2, episode 9 theory on the internet.

    Has Gemma been an innie the whole time?

    Apple TV

    TikTok user @msauroraalice made the connection that Severance season 2 episode 9, "The After Hours," has the same title as a specific Twilight Zone episode in which a mannequin, well, forgets she's a mannequin. And now we're all wondering whether Severance is going to reveal a very similar plotline with Gemma.

    "Could Gemma have been manufactured at Lumon and all of her experience with Mark is just a severed version of herself," @msauroraalice says, theorizing that "there is no Gemma."

    "I bet this next episode, Gemma or Helly has a horrifying discovery about themselves just like the mannequin realizing she's not even alive," she continues.

    Clearly, this Twilight Zone episode has a ton of similarities to Severance, with the split identities of it all. And as one Reddit user just made it even more heartbreaking by saying, "She could be an experiment from the very start which is why they went as far as to fake her death and recruit Mark to work for them. That would be heartbreaking. It would mean Mark and Gemma 's relationship was manufactured from the beginning."

    "The After Hours" is sure to set us up for a crazy 'Severance' season 2 finale.

    Apple TV

    After everything Mark has been through, this would truly be a heartbreaking turn of events and I don't know if I could handle it! I'm not alone, either. TikTok users flooded the comments of the post (which has over 900K views).

    "If Gemma was never a full person to begin with I'm gonna lose my mind," one user said, while another theorized, "I think Gemma is real but she actually died. Lumon had plans for her to begin with so they revived her body because they effectively own it and now she's stuck in purgatory testing."

    But if this Severance theory breaks your heart as much as it breaks mine, there's a silver lining. "The next episode after 'The After Hours' from TWZ is called 'The Mighty Casey' and is about a robot who becomes more human I believe," a third TikTok user says.

    But honestly, emotional devastation — and peeling back a character's insecurities, fears, and heartbreak to get to their core — make for really good TV because of how relatable those moments can be. So we'll just have to see what the Severance season 2 finale has in store.

    Here are 10 Questions I Need Severance Season 2 To Answer — let us know on Instagram what kinds of questions and theories you have.

    St. Patrick's Day in America is known mostly as an excuse to have a day-long marathon of drinking green beer (we'll take some green cocktails, too), but if staying in is more your jam, you'll need some epic DIY party favorsand a slew of adorable St. Patrick's Day-themed treats!
