Dairy/Dairy Alternatives

Going back a month to Jette's post recommending The Clean Cake book - with the warning about the use of coconut oil limiting choice of recipes - I have bought the book (it is great) and wondered if any whizzy chef out there (Jack?) might be able to suggest an alternative for coconut oil in these recipes. As Jette said the coconut oil is used to solidify some of the recipes. Any ideas?

Many thanks

I use avocado pulp, and nut milk grind, (the pulp from making nut milk), and both provide a more buttery mouth feel to baked goods, though I'm more of a cookie cook than a cake cook!

Thanks Farrier - I will give it a try.
