Reduce trans and saturated fats in your baking by replacing the solid fat or the melted solid fat to liquid canola oil. Not only will you reduce the fat by up to 25%, but by switching to liquid canola oil you will be using a product that contains no trans fats and is low in saturated fats. Use this chart to help you convert your recipes:

Solid Fat to Canola Oil Conversion Chart Solid Fat (melted) Canola Oil 1 cup (250 mL) 3/4 cup (175 mL) 3/4 cup (175 mL) 2/3 cup (150 mL) 1/2 cup (125 mL) 1/3 cup (75 mL) 1/4 cup (50 mL) 3 Tbsp (45 mL)

Note: This conversion works well for most baked 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.
