baking substitutions

I've heard about using applesauce or black beans to give baked goods a healthier twist. Do you have any other tips?

Plain yogurt is a good substitute.

Would this be okay if someone was lactose intolerant? My hubby can't eat it, but I would think baking would be okay since it's mixed in.

Not sure. I doubt it would be OK since it still has the dairy in it!

Add shredded or diced veggies to sauces. I loved apple sauce in brownies

I tend to do this when making sloppy joes or hamburger pie or pasta.

What do you use yogurt as a sub for?

Pretty much any type of fat, butter, sour cream, cream cheese, etc. Much healthier!

I'm not too slick myself. I figured this post would give me some pointers.

Can the lite yogurt be used?
