Baking: Info & Tips
Canola oil is light, clear and has a mild flavor that
does not interfere with the taste of baked goods. It blends easily with
other ingredients to produce a moist product with soft texture. In addition,
by replacing other solid fats with canola oil, recipes are not only
lower in trans and saturated fat, but in their total fat content as
well. These are great reasons for cooking and baking with canola oil!
Canola Oil Change Chart for
Baking
Reduce trans and saturated fats in your baking by replacing the solid
fat or melted solid fat to liquid canola oil. Not only will you reduce
the total fat by up to 25 percent but also you will replace the solid
fat with liquid canola oil, which is lower in saturated fats and contains
no trans fat. Use this chart to help you convert your recipes.

goods, in fact, it makes most baked goods moister with a softer texture.
For baked goods like cookies that use solid fat as a leavener; this
conversion will not work well.
