Hey Guys! As promised, I'm doing another review of the Mug Coffee Cake. However, today instead of using melted butter in the cake or olive oil in the strudel topping, I used applesauce. I'll make short work of this review...
If you need this recipe to be fat free for some dietary reason (because you have gallbladder disease for example, not because you want to lose weight faster by consuming fewer calories), then the applesauce substitution is fine. However, if you're looking for something to satisfy your sweet tooth, something on the healthy side, reasonable portion size, and still feel like your allowing yourself some of the great things in life, like coffee cake, use the butter and oil. I'm with Katie on this one, fat free baked goods are just not as great. :\ Don't get me wrong, it still tastes good, but I'm not scarfing down every bite the way I did Tuesday with the delicious butter/oil version. I recommend if you want to give this recipe a try, try the butter/oil version first, then try the applesauce. Because I don't want you thinking this recipe is anything less than amazing because you went the healthier/lower cal route first. :P It's already a low cal recipe. Enjoy all 200 calories of buttery/oily goodness! ;) Love you all! Happy Thursday!
