I am assuming that the applesauce is a low fat replacement for half the fat (butter). You could use another 1/4 cup butter or coconut oil (which extra virgin tastes yummy) in place of the applesauce.
Use Stevia in place of sugar, no calories, it is a plant based product. I’m going to try these this week. Stevia is the only thing my husband uses. (and he has lost 50 pounds!)
Super helpful – thanks!
I can’t wait to try these!
I just used a medium apple, cored. Seemed to work great instead of applesauce.
Why do you secure the lid when you still need to add the flour.
