12 healthy holiday baking substitutions

Avocados and bananas

Recipe substitutions: Fats

Use avocado or banana, not butter.

Both of these add a soft, moist consistency to baked goods without the saturated fat. Avocado provides folate, potassium, fiber, vitamin C and healthy monounsaturated fats.

Bananas are also potassium-rich and a good source of fiber.
