4 Great Oil Substitutes!

Here are 4 great oil substitutes! Switching out vegetable oil in your favorite baked good recipes can be beneficial for health!

• Switching to these can significantly lower the fat and calorie content of your baked good.
• Adding pureed prunes or zucchini can add a fiber boost to your diet!
• Switching to these options should not alter the taste or texture of your baked good significantly

In the future I plan on testing out these different options on brownies and cake recipes! I will let you guys know how it goes! I have tried applesauce before and I could not taste the difference! Zucchini bread is also very tasty, and there is no way you can really taste its a vegetable.

Let me know if you guys try any of these and how it goes!
