Healthy Cooking Tip

I always keep all natural, unsweetened applesauce on hand for baking. You can use it in place of oil to reduce calories and eliminate fat in a recipe. You simply substitute the same amount of applesauce for oil.

A half cup of applesauce contains just 50 calories and 0g fat. Just a small tablespoon of oil contains 120 calories and 14g fat. That means a half cup of oil has 960 calories and 112g fat.

You do the math! I bake with applesauce!
