Top 14 in Top 15 Delicious Ways to Eat an Avocado
When baking, avocado can be used as a vegan alternative to shortening, butter, eggs, and oils. This replacement may reduce calories in the food. For instance, 2 tablespoons (30 grams) of avocado have just 48 calories but the same amount of butter has 200 calories. Avocado is frequently used to make chocolate cakes, brownies, mousse, and pudding because the rich chocolate color will conceal the avocado's green color.
Ingredient: Avocado
Instruction:
- When swapping out butter for avocados, a 1:1 ratio will work perfectly. 1 cup (230 grams) of oil or butter equals 1 cup (230 grams) of mashed avocado.
- 2-4 tablespoons (30–60 grams) of mashed avocado are equivalent to 1 egg.
