So I think that you follow the recipe as it is in a cookbook. If it calls for a quarter of a cup of oil, you're going to use a quarter of a cup of unsweetened applesauce. The ratio is exactly the same. If it called for a half a cup of oil, you would use a qua, a half, half a cup of a mashed sweet potato. Um, you've also got bananas. So the ratios I find stay the same. However, again, it depends on the flour or grain that you are using. So a lot of it, going back to what Fran said, comes to um, how comfortable you are translating a recipe and what it looks like and what it's texture is like and how well that it cooks. And are you cooking it in a silicone pan? Are you using a liner? Are you putting it in um, a loaf pan and using parchment paper that's fit well because your parchment paper should fit well into any, uh, nine by nine baking pan or whatever baking pan that you use so that things can cook evenly and aerate well.
