Tis’ the season of baking. Try these Healthy Recipe Substitutions to cut down calories and bad fats in your favorite recipes:

• Sugar > unsweetened applesauce

• Butter > avocado

• Flour > black beans (brownies)

• White flour > coconut, almond or wheat flour

• Eggs > egg whites or chia seeds + egg whites

• Sour cream > greek yogurt

• Chocolate chips > coco nibs

Notice the lead in sentence says, "bad fats"? Contrary to most food marketing, not all fat is bad!
