TIP: REPLACING OIL WITH WATER IN BAKED GOODS

I've found that if the recipe has applesauce or pumpkin or grated carrots/zucchini, etc., something that adds moisture and bulk to it, I haven't had to use any oil at all, and just substitute water for the oil. When cooling the baked item I watch it closely so that as soon as it's just cooled I wrap it well in either plastic wrap or foil and put it in the refrigerator because it dries out quickly if left out long. It's always tasted moist and flavorful. Can also wrap it well in foil or cut into servings and freeze in freezer bags and pull out as needed.
