Basics of Baking Lighter at Home
These are the big three rules
when it comes to baking healthier at home. Reduce the amount of sugar used in your recipes. Unfortunately, that's
sometimes easier said than done. Some recipes depend on sugar for more than just
taste in a recipe. You may have to experiment with different sugar substitutes
when baking until you get it right. In general, of all the sugar substitutes on
the market, Splenda granulated, which is made for baking, is most easily
substituted in a one to one measure for sugar in a recipe.
- Reduce the amount of fat used in recipes, but keep in mind that some recipes
need a minimum amount of fat in order to succeed at all. The biggest trick to
learn in reducing the fat content is to substitute another moist ingredient for
part of the butter, oil or shortening called for in the recipe. Popular choices
include fat-free sour cream, light cream cheese, orange juice or applesauce.
- Make smaller servings more satisfying by adding fiber to recipes. Instead of
chocolate, add fruit, or use whole wheat flour for part of the flour. When you
increase the nutritional value of the dessert, it's far easier to be satisfied
with smaller portions - and fewer calories.

How to cook and bake with less sugar
Eat healthy. Avoid sweets and processed foods. Cut back on fats. Watch your
carbs. Once upon a time, those words of advice were only given to dieters
looking to take off some added pounds. These days, though, all the major health
organizations are telling us that following these rules can make us much
healthier.
Unfortunately, for those of us with a sweet tooth and those
of us who love to bake, those bits of advice also seem to sound the death knell
for decadent desserts. With just a little adjustment of your recipes, you can
bake low sugar snacks that taste just as good as the traditional high fat, high
calorie and unhealthy treats. Here are some tips for baking at home with less
sugar.
