- Judy,
-
- To me, determining fat gram content of homemade products is easier than
- guessing at some store bought products (like Tahini - see my previous post).
-
- Get a fat gram counter (like the T-Factor Fat Gram Counter, a small booklet,
- $2.95) or equivalent book. You listed the following recipe:
-
- 3/4 cup walnuts 23.1 g
- 1 egg 5.6 g
- 1/3 cup milk (skim?) 0.5g skim, 6.6g whole
- 3 Tbsp oil 42.0 g
-
- total for part of recipe 71.2 g skim, 77.3g whole
- This doesn't include the flour (1.2g per cup) and bananas (0.6g per medium
- banana).
-
- Unfortunately, your yummy recipe is too yummy! Even if you get 12 slices
- of banana bread out of it, it's over 6g fat per slice.
-
- If you use the applesauce instead of the oil, cut the walnuts down (or out)
- and use skim milk, you get:
-
- 1/4 cup walnuts 7.7g (chop them, they'll go further)
- 1 egg 5.6g
- 1/3 cup skim milk 0.5g
- 3 Tbsp unsweetened apple sauce < 0.1g
-
- total for part of recipe 13.9g
-
- A big difference. I bet it tastes just as good, too. I've been doing a lot
- of low fat cooking for the past year, making substitutions like these.
- Some day I'll post my 3g/muffin blueberry muffin recipe, and our lower
- fat veggie pizza recipe. I can't imagine ordering a greasy pizza anymore.
-
- Well, good luck and let us know if you try the modified version.
