Lesser fat muffins

Lesser fat muffins

• inmaculada 16 years ago
  Have you ever tried to halve the amount of fat (butter, oil, etc.) used in you muffins? I have learned it from Epicurious and it works, at least for me: I just use half of the fat stated in the recipe and substitute the other half for applesauce.
  They keep their moist with less calories¡¡

  I have a friend who does that but I do still prefer the butter, not shortening. I like the flavor. I don't use butter as an addition to potatoes or bread so I get mine from baking.
  
  Also, at some point, years ago, I found a fat-free cookbook that used applesauce and other similar ingredients in place of butter. I got it for one of the kids but not sure if it was ever used.

  I use applesauce almost every time I bake muffins and they taste great! Now they have the individual serving that has added fiber, calcium, and antioxidants. Just a little boost of stuff that is good for you. I always lower the amount of sugar in muffins.
