Substituions in recipes

Hirundo

Does anyone have great tips or a list of healthier substitutions to use in recipes ?

As an example, I know butter in cake receipes can be replace with apple sauce...

strapple

soy/almond/rice milk instead of regular! my family refuses to eat healthy but when i cook for them they have no idea i dont use real milk and they gobble it up >:}



oh and hummus for mayo is a good one too!

Greek yogurt in place of sour cream.
A can of diet soda in place of oil, eggs, & water for boxed cake mix.
Almond milk in place of dairy milk.

I wouldn't substitute anything for regular milk unless you are lactose intolerant. Skim milk has much more protein than soy/rice.almond milk.

*Coconut oil for butter and oil
*stevia>splenda>sugar
*ground flax for part of flour
*agave syrup for corn syrup or pancake syrup
*egg beaters or whites for whole eggs

Really? Isn,t the result too sweet to taste with the sweetener used in the diet soda ?
