    1. Let them sit out a few minutes. Not enough that they melt but long enough for them to soften slightly. Otherwise you might find yourself breaking a tooth. 🙂 Okay, maybe not that hard, but sitting them out a minute or too definitely helps avoid brain freeze.

    1. The applesauce is to replace an oil keeping the fat content lower and not adding additional sugar. You could leave it out and increase the amount of another oil.

    2. Houston Ima agree with Leigh try coconut oil for other baked goods you can subtitute pureed beans for the oil / applesauce replacement. Can use black or pinto for brownies, white for yellow or white cakes etc.

  1. I’ve had trouble in the past with freezing yogurt in the ice cube trays. I could never get it to come out! Do you have any recommendations on what I can do to keep it from sticking?

    1. The silicone trays are great. But I sometimes rub a little coconut oil or honey in the trays before I put the yogurt in so they’ll slide out easier. Or run some warm water on the bottom of the tray then try to pop them out.
