Homolka is always looking for ways to slash fat when baking. One of
her most brilliant breakthroughs: substit uting avocado for butter in
her chocolate-walnut cookies. "Avocado is creamy and nearly
flavorless," she says, "so swapping equal amounts mashed avocado
for butter in cookies, cakes, and brownies typically works really well."
