Meaning, yes he is getting his veggies, but he is also getting lots of oil and flour. I know oil and flour are not necessarily bad for him, but I have been wondering is there any way I can make these crackers slightly more healthy?<\/p>\n<p>I usually try to use the rule of &#8211; only change one thing at a time, but this time I disregarded that rule. After doing a little googling, I found there are many things you can use to replace oil (applesauce, puree prunes, etc). I decided to swap the oil for applesauce and i also swapped 1\/2 the white flour with quinoa flour. I have never used applesauce instead of oil and I have never baked\/cooked with any other type of flour besides white flour.<\/p>\n<p>That being said&#8230;. here are my conclusions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In short: it didn&#8217;t work. \u00a0\ud83d\ude41<\/li>\n<li>Applesauce makes the dough much stickier (and a little smelly). \u00a0It made it so sticky that even after baking, the crackers were completely stuck to the pan. \u00a0It took me a good hour to get my pan useable again, and well&#8230;. Mr Picky did not get any crackers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>soo&#8230; no pictures this time, but I would consider this change to my recipe and Epic Fail! \u00a0I will try again later this week, and I am thinking I will go back to my standard rule of: only make 1 change at a time.<\/p>\n<p>So next time, maybe I will just try the quinoa flour or maybe I will just try a replacement for oil.<\/p>\n<p>Do you have any swaps you make in recipes? \u00a0I would be curious to hear them! \u00a0Also, if you have any oil swaps that may work for my crackers, PLEASE let me know!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been making a lot of crackers for Mr Picky lately.
