Cooking Tips For Using Less Oil - Tasting Table

Baking completely oil-free is a tricky proposition. Unlike cooking, baking is highly dependent on getting the right ratios of fats, protein, and other ingredients. Because so many baking recipes use oil as a load-bearing wall — swapping it out for something else can collapse a baked good's culinary house of cards.

Replacing oil with something healthier or cheaper requires understanding the main function of oil in baking. When dough or batter is heated to a certain point, water moves into a gaseous state. However, the inclusion of oil reduces evaporation while slowing the formation of gluten, resulting in a moist, fluffy texture. Additionally, the oil helps to bind ingredients during the baking process (via Bob's Red Mill).

One of the best oil substitutes that can model both effects is applesauce. In addition to retaining moisture and acting as a binder, applesauce is also incredibly convenient: It can be a one-for-one substitute for oil, according to LiveStrong, which recommends draining some water from the applesauce. Home cooks can also substitute other fruit or vegetable purees for oil with varying effectiveness. Other worthwhile substitutes include dairy products like butter, buttermilk, sour cream, mayonnaise, and Greek yogurt.
