Applesauce instead of Oil
A great way to decrease the amount of fat in your baked goods is by using applesauce instead of oil. Applesauce is used in equal amounts for the oil in your recipe. I have substituted applesauce so many times in my cakes, my family doesn’t know the difference! Often, I do it for a potluck and then tell the women about it. It seems like I’m better off not telling the men, because then they can magically taste the difference. 
Try it in pancakes, cake, cookies, brownies…any of your favorite baked goods!
