Is it ok to substitute applesauce for vegetable oil in brownies?

Question

thank you = )

Answer 1

You can use applesauce or canola oil. You could even use half of one and half of the other!! Good Luck!!

Answer 2

I know you can do it with cakes so I don't know why you couldn't do it with brownies.

I would try it, I know with cakes it is a one to one substitution so a 1/4 applesauce to 1/4 cup oil.

Answer 3

yes!

Answer 4

I've tried substituting half of the oil for applesauce or a little bit more with really good results :) They were tasty and very moist. I wouldn't go much past that though, it tended to make my brownies crumbly and of an odd texture. It depends on your recipe though; give it a try!

Betty Crocker has an awesome lowfat brownie mix at the grocery store that you just add water to in a pinch. It's honestly about 2 and a half grams of fat per brownie, and they are delicious. When I'm really strapped for time and having company I serve them warm, slightly underdone and gooey, with a scoop of good low fat vanilla frozen yogurt and chocolate syrup. An AWESOME lowfat dessert!

Answer 5

Yes, the texture will be different, less chewy, but still good and much better for you.

Answer 6

Sure but understand that the texture will change.  It will be more on the cake-y side than the fudge-y side.
