Substitutes
Cut back on some of the unnecessary sugar and fat in your recipes
with our favourite baking substitutes:
Wholemeal flour instead of white flour
Extra fibre can aid digestion. This simple
trick can be used for any type of baking!
Chia seeds and water instead of egg
Let the chia seeds sit in water for 15 minutes
and use to make muffins, cakes and cookies.
Avocado instead of butter
Perfect for brownies and chocolate cookies
as avocados are full of good fats and have
practically the same consistency as butter at
room temperature. Avocado’s creaminess
and subtle flavour is a great substitute for
heavy butter.
Honey instead of sugar
Honey is a natural liquid which is a great
alternative to sugar! It works well in moist,
denser bakes and because it is sweeter than
sugar you can use less of it. It also caramelises
quicker than normal sugar and gives a darker
finish to your bake.
