I doubled Becel All-In-One Nutrition Squares Recipe a few weeks ago so we could eat one immediately and freeze the other for later. Not only was it a complete hit for breakfast it was easy to make because I already had all the ingredients in my kitchen. You will want to bookmark this recipe!…
Becel All-In-One Nutrition Squares Recipe
Before we begin…I did customize my double batch of Becel All-In-One Nutrition Squares Recipe. And this recipe is very accommodating to customization (read: you won’t break the recipe if you customize it). I’ve put my substitutions below in blue while the true recipe is in black.
No matter what you bake, replace butter with margarine 1:1 in any recipe — it’ll be one of the easiest changes you’ll make, and it’s great for your heart healthy diet, too.
Ingredients:
Remember, I doubled my recipe to make two bundt cakes – the following recipe makes one cake
- 4 egg whites or 125 mL egg substitute (I substituted 4 whole eggs)
- 3/4 cup (175 mL) buttermilk (I substituted 3/4 cup 2% milk)
- 1/3 cup (75 mL) Becel® Original margarine, melted
- 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) coarsely grated carrots
- 1 1/4 cups (300 mL) bran cereal or muesli cereal, (not flakes) (I used Bran Buds)
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) firmly packed light brown sugar
- 2 tsp. (10 mL) grated orange peel or lemon peel (I omitted simply because I didn’t have any oranges or lemons)
- 1 1/2 tsp. (7 mL) ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp. (5 mL) baking powder
- 1 tsp. (5 mL) baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. (2 mL) ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp. (2 mL) salt
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
Beat egg whites, buttermilk and melted Becel® Original margarine in medium bowl with wire whisk until blended; set aside. Combine remaining ingredients in large bowl. Stir buttermilk mixture into flour mixture until well combined. Turn into lightly greased 13 x 9-inch (3.5 L) baking pan, smoothing the top.
Bake 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean.
Cool completely on wire rack. Cut into squares to serve. Store refrigerated in an airtight container.

As a Mom, I try to offer healthy food options when I can (and chez moi…breakfast is often a homemade, healthy, fiber-filled muffin or cake to start the day off right). This is why I will certainly make this squares recipe again — the grated carrots, bran cereal, Becel with simpler ingredients – I feel good about offering this delicious choice to my family.
I made the switch to Becel after trying the BECEL ANYTHING GOES COOKIE DOUGH RECIPE (such a good and easy cookie – it’s the only cookie recipe I use now!). 
Baking with soft, non-hydrogenated margarine like Becel Buttery Taste is a heart-healthy option as it contains 80 per cent less saturated fat than butter, and has zero trans-fat. It also provides a source of “good” omega-3 polyunsaturated fats.
Healthy for you and tastes great – it’s time to try more Becel recipes!
Share: Have you ever tried to replace butter with margarine 1:1 in any recipe?…
Note: this post is powered by Becel – opinions, as always, are mine (and this recipe is really good!).
This sounds incredibly delicious. We are regular Becel users and I think I have all of the ingredients. Thank you for sharing the recipe along with you changes.
I switched to Becel Buttery from butter last year — and I’m not missing butter at all
I love using Becel regularly in our household …this recipe sounds yummy!
🙂
I love my butter I must say, however Becel is the only margarine that I use when I want to replace butter in a recipe. 🙂
Wow! That recipe can be used for so many things. Breakfast, dessert and celebrations! I also think with a few tweaks I can make it vegan.
When Baking or everyday use, I always use Becel
🙂
Your bundt cakes look delish. I like how one recipe can be changed so many different ways.
It’s great that this is so customizable. They sound delicious. Can’t wait to try it!
I absolutely adore cookies (Probably my favorite dessert… as an adult. It used to be brownies). The cookie dough recipe is definitely something I have to try out.
I am a horrible cookie maker – so the fact I can make those Anything Goes cookies shows it’s a good recipe
These recipes look delicious and easy to make. I will have to try the Anything Goes Cookie Dough recipe first.
I am excited to try the All in one Nutrition Squares. I love making new recipes. My kids are going to love the cookies.
I can’t say I’ve ever heard of this Becel nutrition square recipe before but it sounds absolutely delicious and a healthier option to boot! Truthfully it looks like a piece of cake so that in itself has me ready for a piece. LOL
I have tried replacing butter with margerine and it doesn’t always work. So glad to know Becel does.
Give Becel a try in replacing butter – it worked for me really well
this sounds so tasty! I love a recipe that is flexible too, excited to try!
flexible recipes, like this one, are so handy
What a really fun healthy treat to make. Don’t forget to add the chocolate!
Ohh how good does this sound! I really really need to get back into baking I think 🙂 x
I’ve been living in the woods apparently. I’ve never heard of Becel before. It sounds like a great option!
These look great! Have used the Becel Anything Goes Cookie Dough Recipe and it always works out beautifully. I will have to try the Cake.
Sounds like a great recipe! I like that you can do different things with it! 🙂
we love Becel! It is all I ever buy. love how smooth it is. And those cookies…oh my goodness…they looks so yummy. I now have a craving
I can’t believe how healthy this is and it looks really moist which is something I need because I always have a dry mouth due to medication I take.
I would love to try this!
yes ive used margarine for butter, sometimes it works, depending on the recipe
This is great for me because I’m a forced vegan due to allergies
