| Applesauce is a wonderful substitute for oil in baking. I sometimes like to use the cinnamon applesauce in my baking, gives an interesting flavor. I always use non-stick spray when cooking.

On the oil issue, I still use oil. But I have switched from vegetable oil to extra virgin olive oil. It's the "good" fat...so I don't feel bad using it and have used it to bake cakes with. Applesauce works great too, I have also done that.
I do use the extra virgin olive oil spray as well. And it works very good. I hardly use any butter or margarine anymore at all. And you know, we don't miss it either.

i agree with the apple sauce, i use it in almost all my baking recipes, including bread. you can also use it to substitute for butter/margarine. i've never tried it but i've heard pumpkin puree & dried plum puree work as well.
if you are cooking on the stove top, instead of using oil or butter to grease a pan, i always use non-stick spray. works just as well, and has almost zero calories.
when i make a box cake mix, i skip the oil & egg altogether and use 2 1/3 cup water instead. tastes just as great, still moist & no added calories.

I use fat free and mostly you can't taste the difference. I made spinach Dip using fat free sour cream instead of regular and nobody knew.
I also use splenda and splenda brown sugar in place of regular sugar and brown sugar. Most everything comes in low fat or fat free form, so I try to use them at every possible chance. I've made pumpkin mousse cake using a fat free crust as well as fat free cool whip and fat free cream cheese.
