Oil is pure fat
One cup of vegetable oil weighs about 218 g, and nearly all of that weight is fat.
正しい調理の換算ツール
A precise kitchen reference for swapping oil and butter without copying a ratio that changes the bake.
油をバターで置換える場合、油の量に 1.25 を掛けます:油 1 カップはバター約 1.25 カップになります。逆の場合はバターに 0.75 を掛けます。これらはモンタンに使われる比率で、大部分の調理に十分です。ガラスの実際のバランスを確認するには、正確な換算モードを使います:バターの脂肪含量は約80%であり、油 1 カップ(218g)には 272g のバター が必要です。他のサイトの 1.333 カップとは真になりません。

US cups and tablespoons are used. A US cup is 240 ml; a metric cup is 250 ml. Values are calculated for vegetable oil and butter containing about 80% fat.
Why the answer is not always obvious
一つの数字がすべてを説明します:バターには約80%の脂肪が含まれ、油は100%です。残りはすべて計算です。
One cup of vegetable oil weighs about 218 g, and nearly all of that weight is fat.
Butter also carries water and milk solids, so matching the fat needs more butter by weight.
The converter shows source grams, fat grams, target grams, and the ratio applied.
The conversion ratio explained
To convert oil to butter quickly, multiply the oil volume by 1.25. That means 1 cup oil becomes 1 1/4 cups butter, 1/2 cup becomes 5/8 cup and 1/4 cup becomes 5 tablespoons.
For baking, the oil to butter replacement ratio works by fat content: oil is essentially 100% fat, while standard butter is about 80% fat. Multiply oil by 1.25 for a practical oil-to-butter swap. For example, 218 g of vegetable oil needs 272.5 g of butter to supply the same fat. The often-repeated 1.333× oil-to-butter substitute ratio comes from reversing the rough butter-to-oil 0.75 rule and is not a true fat match.
Recipe-specific advice
An oil-to-butter baking conversion works best in recipes that already use liquid fat. To use butter instead of oil in cakes, brownies, banana bread and muffins, melt the butter and cool it before adding eggs. Butter brings water and milk solids as well as fat, so an oil-to-butter baking substitute can change texture, browning and flavour even when the fat is matched.
For oil to butter in cake or cake mix, use melted, cooled butter so the mixing method remains similar. Expect a richer, slightly firmer crumb. For 1/2 cup oil, the quick oil-to-butter substitute is 5/8 cup butter; mix only until the dry streaks disappear.
Butter adds dairy flavour and can make the edges firmer. Melt it, cool it slightly and stir it in where the oil would go; avoid extra beating if you want a dense, fudgy result.
This is not always a direct swap. Butter contains water and firms when cool, so cookies may spread, brown and set differently. Use softened butter only when the method calls for creaming.
Melted butter works well and adds richness, while the banana helps retain moisture. Fold it in after cooling and stop mixing as soon as the flour is incorporated.
Use melted, cooled butter and combine it with the wet ingredients. The muffins will usually be richer but a little less soft after refrigeration because butter solidifies when cold.
Choose by flavour and structure
The best oil-to-butter equivalent depends on whether the source oil stays liquid or sets like a solid fat. Vegetable oil is the neutral baseline, coconut oil is a structural exception, and olive oil contributes a flavour that may remain noticeable after the swap.
The most neutral substitution. Butter adds flavour and structure, but the bake may feel less moist once cool.
See the full guideUse a 1:1 volume swap because both fats are solid at typical room temperature. Unrefined coconut oil contributes coconut flavour; refined oil is milder.
See the full guideButter softens olive oil's grassy or peppery character and adds dairy richness. Mild olive oil suits most bakes; robust extra virgin oil remains noticeable.
See the full guideNutrition and baking performance
Oil and butter are both calorie-dense fats, but they are not nutritionally or functionally identical. The healthier choice depends on the oil, the quantity and your overall diet; the better baking choice depends on the result you want.
| Measure | Vegetable oil | Butter |
|---|---|---|
| Calories per tablespoon | About 120 | About 102 |
| Total fat per tablespoon | About 14 g | About 11.5 g |
| Saturated fat | Varies; usually lower than butter | About 7 g per tablespoon |
| Texture in baking | Moist, soft and tender, even when cool | Firmer crumb with more structure |
| Flavour | Neutral unless the oil is distinctive | Rich dairy flavour and browned notes |
| Best performance | Quick breads, moist cakes and muffins | Cookies, pastry, laminated dough and creamed cakes |
Which has more fat? By tablespoon, oil has more total fat because it is 100% fat; butter includes water and milk solids. Which is healthier? Oils rich in unsaturated fats, such as olive or canola oil, are generally lower in saturated fat than butter. Coconut oil is an exception because it is high in saturated fat. Nutrition values are approximate and vary by brand.
Straight answers, with the working shown
簡易換算では約1.25カップです。脂肪バランスで計算すると 272g となります。油 1カップ(218g)はすべて脂肪、バターの脂肪含量は 80% のため 218 ÷ 0.80 = 272g となります。
油→バターは 1.25。バター→油は 0.75。つまり、油の量に対してバターを 25% 多くします。
1 ÷ 0.75 = 1.333 という計算をしてしまったためです。脂肪含量とは関係なく、単に換算を逆算しています。バターの脂肪含量は 80% であり 75% ではありません。ただもて 1.25 が正確です。
基本的にははいいです。特に融かした状態で使う場合(ブロウニース・カーブン・マッフィン等)には向いています。グラムと煎する場合には、すべてはない場合もあります。
80g。約 87ml です。バターの脂肪含量は 80% のため 100g で 80g の脂肪を含みます。油は脂肪のみであるため、同の量の脂肪を含みます。
本当の例外です。室温(約 24°C)以下で固体になり、バターと同様の取り扱いとなり、体積比 1:1 で置換えられます。
バターを油で置換える場合にははいいです。バターには約 16% の水が含まれています。置換えたバター 100g ごとに牛乳または水を大匙1スピーン追加しましょう。
大匙 1スピーンごとの点数は近くです:油は約 120kcal、バターは水を含むため約 100kcalです。違いは脂肪の種類で、バターの饱和脂肪は 63% です。
