No-Butter Baking

Trying to satisfy your sweet tooth while still watching your waistline?

Lighter Bake, a new product from Sunsweet, is a fat-free butter and oil replacement made with dried apples and plums. It can substitute for most or all of the fat in soft, chewy baked goods ranging from muffins to cookies to brownies to banana bread.

Yes, your taste buds will probably realize that they’re not getting quite the real thing. But your tummy will thank you for it later.

Price: Around $2 for a 14-ounce jar (1-1/4 cups, enough for three to five recipes).

Available: Most larger supermarkets. For information, call (800) 417-2253 between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. PST.
