Easy Swaps for Better Baking

I love baking. It is one of my hobbies and feeding your sweet tooth while keeping a watchful eye on your waistline might not be as hard as you think. Some of your favorite fresh-from-the-oven recipes can be made a whole lot less of a diet threat with just a few simple swaps. Try:
Splenda (instead of sugar) has all of the sweet, but zero of the calories in sugar.
Applesauce (instead of butter) keeps your cookies and brownies moist, but without all that fat! Look for "no sugar added" varieties for even lower-cal treats.
Egg Beaters (instead of whole eggs) are low in calories, fat-free and cholesterol-free—they're a baking substitute that can't be beat.
