How can I reduce the fat in my baking?

Q. How can I reduce the fat in my baking? - Millie 

A: All baked goods that call for butter or oil - cookies, cakes, muffins, bread, and even pizza dough can be made fat-free. Directly substitute a fruit purée like unsweetened applesauce or mashed banana for the fat. If the recipe calls for one cup of butter, use one cup of applesauce instead. The sweetness of the fruit allows you to reduce the sugar by half as well! To boost the nutritional value of your baking even more, add a tablespoon of fiber like ground flax seed, psyllium or inulin to your recipe.
