When baking, how can i approximate calories?
Say i want to make a healthier version of a baked good. In this case, cupcakes. I substitute Soy Milk, sugar substitute (splenda,etc), egg beaters, and Smart balance butter substitute. When all the ingredients are combined, can i just add up the calories to get a count, then divide by the number of cupcakes or is there more to it?
add together all of the calories in each of the items and the amount you used and then divide by # of cupcakes.
theres plenty of healthy cupcake recipies out there too. i personally like making the vegan cake batter (which has tofu in it for moisture) and making cupcakes. or theres tons of vegan cupcake recipes.
