I would go for sour cream.

Where I came up with asking if I should use applesauce or sour cream, is based off of two recipes I've read recently. I don't eat yogurt because its a migraine trigger for me.

I wasn't looking at these specifically to cut calories, per se, I just want to try something new. I thought I'd sneak some zucchini in to brownies and see if the hubs notices

LOL :laugh:
