Baking Substitutes

There are a lot of substitutes we can use when baking. Below are a list of some of the ones I use on a regular basis cutting calories and points!


Instead of Sugar Try an artificial sweetener (Truvia, ideal-natural sweeteners)

Instead of 1 egg Try 2 egg whites

Instead of Frosting Try sliced fresh fruit with a dusting of powdered sugar

Instead of1/2 cup butter, oil or margarine Try either 1/4 cup applesauce + 1/4 cup canola oil, butter or margarine OR
= amounts of applesauce (ie: instead of 1/2 cup of butter use 1/2 cup of
applesauce.

Instead of Evaporated Milk Try Evaporated skim milk

Instead of Sour Cream Try Non Fat, Fat Free Plain yogurt or Pureed Low Fat Cottage Cheese

1 cup chocolate chips 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips and 1/2 cup chopped nuts or chopped dried fruit

HAPPY BAKING!!!!!
