For example, if the recipe calls for 1 cup of sugar, you will add 1/2 cup of sugar and 3/4 cup of applesauce. It's ideal for cakes, breads, or fruits. - Replace butter with avocado puree The benefits of replacing butter with avocado significantly reduce calories and fats. If you need 1 cup of butter, substitute it with 1 cup of avocado. Keep in mind that this may change the color of your baked goods. It's ideal for cookies and cakes (for cakes, you should reduce the oven temperature by 25% and bake for longer). - Replace sugar with vanilla extract This can significantly reduce the calories in your desserts. You should reduce the amount of sugar by half and add a teaspoon of vanilla, which will also add great flavor. It's ideal for cakes, cookies, muffins, and breads. - Replace butter with banana Butter can be replaced with banana in equal amounts, meaning half a cup of butter is substituted with half a cup of banana. It's ideal for baking desserts: cakes, breads, cookies, muffins. Just be careful to reduce the oven temperature by 25% and ensure they don't burn. - Replace cow's milk with almond milk If you hadn't thought about it before, replacing cow's milk with almond milk (or any other plant-based milk) is ideal for those who are lactose intolerant or want to reduce fat and increase antioxidants that the body needs. Children can consume it without any problem, especially if they have any digestive issues, as almond milk is lighter. It's ideal for any preparation.   Cooking Recipes Below are some recipes where you can use the above tips.  (it is important to click on the recipe title to see more preparation details)   Hotcakes with Berries.
