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 Applesauce can make your favorite treats a little lighter and leaner. Here’s how!
Our applesauce 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, applesauce 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 applesauce will result in a moister, denser product, so it is perfect for healthier breads, cakes and brownies.
You can replace eggs with APPLESAUCE in many recipes too, at a ratio of ¼ cup applesauce for each egg. Swapping out eggs results in a moister, denser product as well.
Our applesauce 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 applesauce 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 applesauce. So, if you are using ½ cup of applesauce for sweetener, you’ll want to decrease the milk or other liquid by ½ cup.
