Equivalents

Posted by Linda Larsen Oct 16, 2006

We covered common substitutions last week. When you're baking, you can really save time when you know that, for instance, a 10 ounce package of large marshmallows equals 4 cups of mini marshmallows.

Knowing these equivalents will also help you planning your grocery list. If you need a cup of bread crumbs, look at this chart; you'll see that three average slices of bread are what you need.

Equivalents

1 cup mashed bananas = 2 large bananas

1 lemon = 3 Tbsp. juice

1 cup vanilla wafer crumbs = 23 cookies

1 cup graham cracker crumbs = 14 single graham crackers

1 cup chopped apple = 1 large apple

1 cup orange juice = 3 medium oranges

1/4 cup butter = 1/2 stick butter

1-1/2 cups grated carrots = 1 pound carrots

1 cup chocolate cookie crumbs = 20 cookies
