Kraft Kitchens Tips

Substitute

Tap into the variety of dried fruits now available at the supermarket. When recipes call for raisins, substitute another dried fruit. Try dried cranberries, blueberries, cherries, dates, prunes or figs. Be sure to cut the larger fruits into smaller raisin-size pieces before using.

I did not have any flour in the house but did have a biscuit mix so I substitued 1/2 cup instead of 1/4 cup added no butter, powder and due to diabetics in fam. used 1/4 cup of sugar and two teaspoons of honey added 1/4 cup low-cal sour creme and we had a very healthy and tasty treat thay people raved about ans asked for the recipy . thanks for the recipy and you could use egg sub. if wanted to It changed the calorie and cholesterol, and sugar intake immensely thanks again..

I substituted Wheat Germ for the Bran Cereal (which we do not use) and also used the applesauce (sugar free) in place of oil/margarine. It was great!
