How to Make this Recipe Lighter
– Use light mayonnaise or one made with olive oil.
– Using pre-cooked bacon will save fat, calories, and time.
– Use a sugar substitute instead of sugar. We recommend checking the specific brand’s guidelines for proper conversion, as measurements may vary depending on the type of sugar substitute used.
– Use honey or agave nectar instead of sugar. Both are sweeter than sugar, but not by the same amount, so different measurement adjustments are needed when substituting either for sugar.
