gluten-free flour

🥗Healthier: almond flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour (not gluten-free)

Almond flour adds healthy fats and protein, while all-purpose flour is cheaper but not gluten-free.

maple syrup

🥗Healthier: agave syrup

💰Cheaper: sugar

Agave syrup is lower on the glycemic index, while sugar is a more economical sweetener.

coconut oil

🥗Healthier: applesauce

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Applesauce reduces fat while adding moisture, and vegetable oil is a budget-friendly alternative.

dairy-free chocolate chips

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate

💰Cheaper: regular chocolate chips

Dark chocolate has less sugar, while regular chocolate chips are often less expensive.
