  • Michelle Michelle says:

    In place of the canola oil can I use coconut oil or avocado oil?

    • Anita Anita says:

      Hi Michelle, I would first try using neutral flavored oil, so I prefer using avocado oil as substitute. But if you love the flavor of coconut, using coconut oil is not a bad idea too.
