Or butter. Or flour. (oops.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pro tip:<\/strong>\u00a0Don\u2019t try all these swaps. Try them one at a time to see how you like the recipe with the changed ingredient before swapping out another. You\u2019re more likely to have successful results that way.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>1. All-Purpose Flour Swaps<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-109405 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/bodiblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/What-Works-as-a-Butter-Substitute.inpost.jpg\" alt=\"Black beans in measuring cup\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Black Beans or White Beans<\/h3>\n<p>Substitute 1 cup all-purpose flour for 1 cup beans (drained, rinsed, and pureed).<\/p>\n<p>Beans add fiber and protein (approx. 12 to 19 g and 14 to 16 g per cup, respectively) and make baked goods moist without changing their flavor. They work best in cookies, cupcakes, and brownies.<\/p>\n<h3>Nut Flour<\/h3>\n<p>Substitute 1 cup all-purpose flour for 1 cup of your favorite nut flour plus \u00bd tsp. baking powder or baking soda.<\/p>\n<p>Nut flour adds protein and omega-3s to your baked goods, but they\u00a0<em>will<\/em>\u00a0make the final product a little bit denser. It works best in cakes, cookies, and sweet breads.<\/p>\n<h3>Whole-Wheat Flour<\/h3>\n<p>Substitute 1 cup all-purpose flour for 1 cup whole wheat flour. Whole wheat flour has five times the fiber of refined flour.<\/p>\n<p>This swap works for almost any baking recipe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong>\u00a0The measurements above will work in a pinch, but when swapping flours, having a scale on hand will really help.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s best to substitute flours based on weight rather than volume; 1 cup of all-purpose flour weighs 125 g, so you\u2019ll want to swap it with 125 g of your alternative.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>2. Butter Swaps<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-109409 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/bodiblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/What-Works-as-a-Butter-Substitute.inpost2.jpg\" alt=\"Chocolate cake\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Avocado<\/h3>\n<p>Swap 1 cup (2 sticks) of butter for 1 cup pureed avocado, then reduce the oven temperature by 25 degrees F and increase the baking time.<\/p>\n<p>Avocado will give a slightly greenish tint to the final product, so it\u2019s best for dark batters or for holidays that call for green foods, making it perfect for St. Patrick\u2019s Day or Halloween! Best in brownies, cookies, or chocolate cake.<\/p>\n<h3>Banana<\/h3>\n<p>Swap 1 cup (2 sticks) of butter, 1 cup oil, or 1 cup shortening for 1 cup mashed banana and reduce your cooking time by 25 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Note: Because bananas also add sweetness, you may be able to cut back on your sweetener. It works best with cookies, muffins, dense cakes, and breads.<\/p>\n<h3>Applesauce<\/h3>\n<p>Swap 1 cup (2 sticks) of butter, 1 cup oil, or 1 cup shortening for \u00bd cup unsweetened applesauce + \u00bd cup fat (ex. avocado). This exchange works best with muffins and sweet breads.<\/p>\n<h3>Greek Yogurt<\/h3>\n<p>Swap 1 cup (2 sticks) of butter or 1 cup oil for 1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt adds protein (approximately 17 g per cup) and calcium. This substitute works best for cakes, muffins, and cookies.<\/p>\n<h3>Chia Seeds<\/h3>\n<p>Chia seeds are packed with fiber and other nutrients. For this swap, combine 3 Tbsp. chia seeds with 1 cup of water and let the mixture sit for 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s equivalent to 1 cup butter, but for the best results, only substitute half of the butter for the chia seeds. Best for cakes, breads, and muffins.<\/p>\n<h3>Prunes<\/h3>\n<p>Puree \u00be cup of prunes with \u00bc cup of hot water to create a prune \u201cbutter\u201d that you can use as a butter substitute.<\/p>\n<p>You may find you want to decrease the amount of sugar in the recipe as prunes add their own. Best in brownies, chocolate or spiced cakes, and dark baked goods.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>3. Sugar Swaps<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-109412 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/bodiblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/What-Works-as-a-Butter-Substitute.inpost3.jpg\" alt=\"Medjool dates in a bowl\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Applesauce<\/h3>\n<p>Swap 1 cup sugar for 1 cup applesauce and reduce the liquid in the recipe by \u00bc cup.<\/p>\n<p>The final product will be less sweet and slightly denser than the original, but by doing so, you\u2019ll be cutting back on refined sugars and the total calorie count down by approximately 600 calories.<\/p>\n<h3>Dates or Prunes<\/h3>\n<p>Swap 1 cup sugar for 6 dates or prunes. Before using, soak the fruits in hot water for 45 minutes, then drain and puree them. Reduce the liquid by \u00bc cup. Best in cookies or sweet breads.<\/p>\n<h3>Raw Honey<\/h3>\n<p>Though honey is straight sugar, by using it in place of sugar, you can use less and cut back the total calories in the recipe a little.<\/p>\n<p>Use \u00bd cup raw honey in place of 1 cup sugar and reduce the total liquid in the recipe by \u00bc cup. Best in cookies, cakes, and sweet breads.<\/p>\n<h3>Maple Syrup<\/h3>\n<p>Though it\u2019s just as sweet as sugar, maple syrup contains zinc, manganese, iron, calcium, and potassium; granulated sugar does not.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure to use 100 percent maple syrup, not maple syrup-flavored product.<\/p>\n<p>Swap 1 cup of sugar for \u00be cup of maple syrup, then reduce the liquid in your recipe by 3 Tbsp. and lower the oven temperature by 25 degrees<span class=\"st\">\u00a0F<\/span>.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>4. Swap EGGS for\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3>Egg Whites<\/h3>\n<p>Replace 1 egg with 2 egg whites. Whole eggs are great for you, but if you\u2019re looking to cut calories in a recipe, this is an easy swap.<\/p>\n<h3>Chia seeds<\/h3>\n<p>Combine 1 Tbsp. chia seeds and 1 cup of water and set them aside for 15 minutes. This mixture can replace 1 egg. If using chia seeds as a butter replacement, we do not recommend using them to also replace the eggs.<\/p>\n<h3>Flaxseeds<\/h3>\n<p>Combine 1 Tbsp. ground flaxseeds with 3 Tbsp. water and set aside for 5 minutes. This can replace 1 egg and works best in muffins, cookies, and cakes.<\/p>\n<h3>Tofu<\/h3>\n<p>\u00bc cup pureed silken tofu can replace 1 egg. Make sure it doesn\u2019t have any chunks before adding other ingredients. Best in brownies and dense cakes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10170230421 aligncenter\" title=\"What Can You Subsitute for Butter?
