Cutting Calories While Baking
Watching your weight doesn't necessarily have to mean swearing off baked goods. It just means learning to bake smarter. Alter your current recipes with the following switches:
Cut fat and calories by replacing your usual ingredients with low-fat versions.
Replace whole milk with skim, for example, or eggs with egg whites.
Try using an equal amount of applesauce instead of oil or shortening for your baked goods.
Substitute an equal amount of pureed prune baby food for oil or shortening in brownies and other chocolate baked goods.
Use Splenda Sugar Blend for baking in place of regular sugar. It's a mix of half sugar and half Splenda, giving baked goods the proper texture and browning using Splenda alone cannot.
Use cooking spray instead of shortening to coat pans.
Reduce the cooking time on altered recipes by five minutes or so, to help retain a moist texture.
In most cases, your friends and family won't taste a difference in your trimmed down goodies and you can continue losing weight during the holidays!
