Holiday spoiler alert: Most store-bought desserts and baked sweets — everything from cookies and cupcakes to donuts and pies — use palm oil. So do packaged cookie doughs, pie crusts and dry cake or brownie mixes. Sadly, most bakeries also use palm oil, so even donuts and specialty cakes that you buy from Panera, Cheryl’s or Krispie Kreme have palm oil.

The good news is that with a bit of a time investment, you can bake your own goods and avoid palm oil all together. Many recipes are pretty easy to decipher and understand. Avoid shortening and margerine, there’s palm oil there, too. But a basic cookie dough recipe: eggs, flour, sugars, vanilla, baking powder, butter… well, that’s pretty straight forward. This is, by far, the easiest way to ensure you’re serving dishes that align with your morals.
