I have a pancake recipe that calls for oil, and I was hoping to replace it with applesauce. Would this work, or would it ruin the pancakes? Thanks!

Maybe try it with half the oil and half applesauce or banana. (any puree of fruit works, I use banana almost all the time when substituting.) Good luck and let us know how it turned out.

I just tried using applesauce in my pancakes instead of oil this morning, and although the pancakes browned a bit quicker than usual (that might have been using the applesauce and it might have been using a new pan) they turned out delicious, plus healthier! Thanks for the tips!
