Yes, applesauce works great! I also use fat-free plain yogurt or pumpkin too.

My friend got this recipe from Weight Watchers.

1-box- German Chocolate Cake Mix
1-can-100% Pumpkin
Mix it all together. Yep, that's all you do!

Bake at 350 till done. The time varies due to what size pan you use. But it takes a long time.

She makes mini-muffins that count as 1 point a piece on W.W.'s.

They are delicious!
I've made regular sized muffins and even round layered cake with icing ( prior to SP! ).


My DH kept sneeking the little bite size muffins. He...um...spent alot of time in the bathroom because of all the fiber from the pumpkin.

I have replaced oil with applesauce or even pumpkin works and you get more vitamins w/the pumpkin. Just thought I'd share.

Hi! I'm new here. I've heard of this, but never tried either. Definitely something to use in the future. Good reminder.

Cakes are more moist as well as tasty, try using applesauce with banana nut bread mix......

I had heard that before, but have never tried it myself. I will try that next time I bake. Do you replace the same measurment? Like if it calls for 2 tbs of oil do you add 2 tbs of applesauce?

Thanks,

I replace my oil w/applesauce when I cook cakes, etc.. and they still turn out pretty good!!! Plus less calories! Plus my kids can't tell the difference!
