Easy ways to cut fat content.
Well, the doctor finally 'suggested' that DH loses weight. Thank you, as my suggestions were falling on deaf ears, (probably from chewing!).
Anyway, I made a pumpkin bread and told him he could have a slice, he was wondering why it was okay to eat, as he thought it would be a no-no.
Here's my trick-I eliminate the oil and whole eggs. I use canned pumpkin for the oil, (you could also use applesauce), and egg whites instead of whole eggs. I pump up the flavor with extra spices and substitute half of the water with juice.
I do the same thing with brownies, using the canned pumpkin, egg whites, cocoa powder, and coffee.
Many of you must know all this, but DH suggested that I post, as he was 'unaware' of my little tricks. Now he's suspicious! ;)
I try to avoid low-fat versions of foods as they don't bake the same,(IMO). So, I substitute. Plain yogurt for sour cream, Mustard for mayonnaise, cottage cheese for ricotta, etc.
