So, if a recipe calls for 100g butter, try swapping with 50g rapeseed oil and 50g mashed banana, or 50g yogurt. To make up the difference in quantity, you can add water, skimmed milk, unsweetened Greek-style yogurt, or a mashed banana. It doesn't have a strong flavour and has a good mix of healthy fats. If you’d like to make your bakes with a butter alternative, the healthiest and cheapest option is oil. This adds soluble fibre, which can help lower cholesterol, and help with blood glucose management. You could also try reducing flour and replacing it with the same weight of porridge oats. It works in most recipes, but if you find it a bit heavy for things like sponge cakes, try using a ratio of 30:70 or 50:50 wholemeal flour to plain flour. It's also more filling, so a smaller portion will keep you fuller for longer. Wholemeal flour is healthier as it’s higher in fibre so it can help with gut and heart health. Try swapping plain white flour with wholemeal flour.
