Quick and Healthy way to replace Cooking Oil in your Baked Goods!
I am always in search of ways to make things more healthy. I have been on a weight loss mission for over a year now and I am happy to say that I have picked up a few tips along the way. One of my favorite tips allows me to continue to eat all those cakes and brownies that I love so much. Ok I don’t eat them often but when I do I prepare them in a healthier way!
Did you know that every time you read cooking oil in a recipe for your favorite baked goods you can replace it with equal amounts of apple sauce. It is such a brilliant idea that will help your baked items to cook beautifully in a healthier way. Plus the apple sauce will leave your cakes and muffins moist and tender!
Cutting the oil out of these recipes is a great way to cut calories! I wish I would have known about this tip years ago! But, now that I do know…..I will never forget it! I have apple sauce on hand all the time! Enjoy!
Do you have any favorite baking tips that you would like to share? I would love to hear all your healthy ideas! Just leave me a comment below!
wow I had no idea about this! Im on a low cholesterol diet so I will definitely be using this tip any time I have to bake. Im so excited to know this. Weird huh? lol
I love this idea. I love baking, especially in the fall & winter so I will try this. I can’t wait to give this a try. Thanks.
Thanks for posting this! We always have applesauce in the house so I will definitely try this out.
Love it! I’d love to do more substitutions but am never sure if I should replace 1 for 1. This is an easy replacement. Thanks!
I wonder if this would work well with Gluten Free cakes also? I’ll have to try it this weekend and find out.
I use applesauce, too, in my brownies and they stay moist.
