Tips to Bake with Less Fat

4 of 10

Skip the Oil or Butter

Use half the butter or oil called for and replace the amount of fat eliminated with prune puree. For example, if the recipe calls for 1 cup butter or oil, use 1/2 cup butter or oil and 1/2 cup prune puree. You can puree your own prunes, purchase pureed prunes, or use prune baby food. You’ll want to strain the baby food to remove excess water.
