What are some good substitutes for raisins in baked recipes?
Not Chocolate or nuts!
Answers:
I guess it would depend in the recipe, but here are a few tasty suggestions (all are dried fruits):
cherries
cranberries
currants
blueberries
apricots (diced)
plums (diced)
dates (chopped)
Dried cranberries, coconut, granola....
Cranberries are nice - more for colour than taste. Chopped dried apricots or dates work well too.
chopped maraschino cherries, dried cranberries
Chopped dates or any dried fruit.
I would use craisens. They are the closest thing to raisens so your recipes would come out nearly perfect. They are so sweet and yummy! They even come in a few infused flavors now. They are dried cranberries if you haven't heard of them. I know Super Walmart carries them.
CHOCOLATE CHIPS!!!!
Well, I guess you could add a bit of the other suggestions too. (everything tastes better with some chocolate)
Chopped dates are wonderful. Yumsers!
