Having survived heart attack and under going quadruple bypass surgery, I am on a low fat no salt added diet and would love to hear about low fat meal suggestions and substitutions. Am looking for substitutions for butter, cream and eggs in baking recipes. Help on subbing 67%RSF Becel margarine for butter and Naturel Egg product (80% reduced fat and cholesterol) for real eggs would be nice. NO TRANSFATS is most important. Hard to do with dairy or chocolate products.
Any other heart attack survivors out there? Low fat can mean low cal for weight watchers. Hydrogenated oils, saturated fats and trans-fatty acids are my enemies. May not be able to avoid saturated fats, especially in meat but can watch portions.
Frys' Cocoa Brownies (low fat)
1 cup of all purpose flour
1 tsp of baking powder
1/2 tsp of salt
1 cup of Fry's Cocoa
2 cups of sugar
1 cup of Becel 67%RSF margarine
200 g of Naturel egg
1 1/2 tsp of vanilla
1 cup of chopped walnuts (optional)
Mix flour, baking powder and salt in mixing bowl
In large saucepan melt margarine, remove from heat and mix in sugar, cocoa, and egg product
Mix wet contents in to flour mixture and stir in nuts if used
Pour batter in to a 13x9 baking pan sprayed with Pam or lightly spritzed/wiped with canola oil
Bake in a 350'F pre-heated oven for 30-35 minutes or until done.
Frost as you see fit but lowfat no transfat frostings hard to come by
I found a low fat chocolate frosting. It has .5 g of transfats per 2 tbsp. My need for some sort of chocolate forces me to endure some transfats.
