5 tips for healthier baking
Baking is a popular pastime that offers comfort and a tasty reward. But many baked goods are high in sugar and fat, which can contribute to obesity and type 2 diabetes. The WHO notes that 13 percent of adults are obese and 39 percent are overweight worldwide, often due to fast-absorbing carbs and highcalorie foods like baked treats. For those who enjoy baking, simple ingredient swaps and healthier techniques can make homemade goodies a bit better for you.
1. Replace butter and cream. Look for recipes that feature healthier monounsaturated and polyunsaturated oils instead of butter and cream, which are high in saturated fat.
2. Prepare bite-sized desserts. Portion sizes should be carefully monitored to ensure one doesn’t go overboard with baked goods. This can be done by making miniature or bitesized items that help curb the urge to take a big slice of cake or bread.
3. Incorporate healthy ingredients. Balance out baked goods by improving the nutrient profile. Try adding shredded or pureed apple, banana, carrot, and pumpkin to recipes to boost moisture, flavor and nutrition. These ingredients also can be used to replace some of the butter or oil in the recipe, according to EatRight.org.
4. Try alternative flours. Rather than white flour, consider whole-wheat flour as a substitution. Also, chickpea or almond flour can boost protein without adding carbohydrates.
5. Reduce the sugar. Many recipes call for much more sugar than is needed for the finished item to be tasty. Experiment with reducing the amount of sugar. Opt for “healthier” sugars, such as honey or maple syrup whenever possible. Minor substitutions can make baking a bit healthier so it fits in with a wellrounded diet. TF25A248
