7.Seedy Egg Substitutes
Want to cut cholesterol or eat more plant-based foods? Use chia seeds or flaxseed meal instead of eggs. For baking, these stand-ins won’t bring the leavening (volume and puff) that eggs do. To fix this, add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder or soda to the recipe.
8.Go Greek (Yogurt, That Is)
Stir in thick, creamy plain Greek yogurt instead of greasy oil in muffins and quick breads. Whole-milk or full-fat tastes best and is still better for you. It packs protein and less sugar than regular yogurt. But you can use 2% to cut back on fat if you want. (Stay away from nonfat. The texture and taste won’t sit right). Swap equal amounts for your fat. Then add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda per cup of yogurt.
