How to replace butter and margarine in baking for losing weight

Cakes and desserts for the most part have a fairly high calorie content. And sooner or later, every housewife has a question: “Is it possible to replace fat in baking with something?” Indeed, the calorie content in pastries and desserts can be reduced. Such baking will be more useful.

Half of the oil in the recipe can be replaced without significant damage to the final result. For this purpose, fruit puree can be added instead of butter. As a result of this replacement, the baked goods will not crunch, the texture will become more like a biscuit, and the muffins will become denser. But at the same time, the calorie content of the dish will decrease significantly.

Fruit puree for baby food without sugar or homemade puree is good for replacement. The proportion of such a replacement is very simple: 100 grams of butter or vegetable oil is replaced by 100 grams of fruit puree. Applesauce is best for baking cakes, and pumpkin puree is best for baking yeast buns, spiced bread, cakes, pancakes, muffins.
