G: Coconut oil is often preferred in recipes for Belgian waffles due to its distinct flavor and richness. It adds a subtle coconut undertone that enhances the overall taste of the waffles.

If you're substituting, consider using a replacement that complements the desired flavor and texture of the waffles.
