Can I replace the oil in my waffle recipe?

Question

They're good but really high-fat, calling for 7 tablespoons of oil. Can I use anything else instead?

Answer 1

The oil can be reduced and you can use a more healthy oil such as olive or canola. Next time, cut it in half (3 -4 tbs). If it is OK, try cutting in half again or use 5-6 tbs. if it burns. Using apple sauce helps keep the moisture in cakes, It might work here, too.

Answer 2

Use a search engine like www.ask.com. You can use applesauce in some recipes in place of the oil but I'm not sure how much

Answer 3

Cut it down by half and the recipe should be okay
