Swap Butter & Oil For Mashed Banana 

Did you know you can create a cakey, soft texture in your baked goods without the added fat? This isn’t a folktale, it’s a true story — all you need is bananas. When you swap mashed bananas for butter in your cookies, muffins, quick breads, and cakes, the result will not only boast a delicious taste and texture, but you’ll also reap the nutritional benefits that bananas have to offer.  

Bananas are a rich source of potassium, which is known to help with things like muscle cramps. Additionally, this healthy food swap helps to moderate blood sugar levels, support heart health, and improve kidney function. But don’t just take our word for it, try it out in our Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins recipe where we’ve swapped oil for mashed bananas! 

Swap Butter for Avocado

Avocado is a nutrient-dense fruit (yes, it’s a fruit) that houses 20 different vitamins and minerals and is loaded with fiber and monosaturated fats. It provides a smooth alternative for butter that we tested out to make Avocado Brownies. We found that cocoa was the perfect solution for disguising the natural green tint of avocado, and that avocado was the perfect healthy food swap to pack in healthy fats and give this recipe a major flavor boost.
