Healthy Eating all year long
Are you looking for easy ways to eat healthier, particularly as we roll into a new year, but still want to enjoy baked goods and other treats? Baking with North Coast Organic apple sauce can make your favorite treats a little lighter and leaner. Here’s how!
Our apple sauce can be used to replace some or all of the butter and other oils in your favorite baking recipes to lower both the fat content and cholesterol. If you are lactose intolerant, apple sauce can help you there as well. How much should you use? A 1 for 1 substitution usually works best. You can also replace just part of a recipe’s butter or other oils. Using apple sauce will result in a moister, denser product, so it is perfect for healthier breads, cakes and brownies.
You can replace eggs with apple sauce in many recipes too, at a ratio of ¼ cup apple sauce for each egg. Swapping out eggs results in a moister, denser product as well.
Our apple sauce can also be used to replace sugar in a recipe to lower the overall sugar and calorie count. For those with diabetic concerns, swapping out a recipe’s sugar can help satisfy your cravings for your favorite baked goods. Just be sure to use apple sauce with no added sugars (all North Coast Organic products have no added sugars). How much should you use? A 1 for 1 substitution usually works best. You’ll also need to reduce the amount of liquid in the recipe to make up for the moisture provided by the apple sauce. So, if you are using ½ cup of apple sauce for sweetener, you’ll want to decrease the milk or other liquid by ½ cup.
