Low fat substitutions without sacrificing taste...
If you love to exercise your baking talents,
but hate those "not so healthy recipes," there is hope. Here are some health-conscious ingredient substitutes that you can make without sacrificing flavor. - Use unsweetened cocoa instead of chocolate. This switch will significantly reduce the fat content of what you are baking.
- Replace butter and oil with fruit purees. Choose a puree that best matches the taste of the recipe you are baking.
- Toast nuts to enhance their flavor. If the recipe calls for nuts, reduce the amount and brown the smaller portion in a skillet before adding them to the recipe.
- Increase the amount of vanilla, spices, or other flavorings to maximize taste.
Try these strategies and dig into those home baked treats. You can feel good about them!
