If you are concerned about your health then there are different methods that can be used. Lower fat variations of baking can be tricky because it is completely different to cooking fuller fat versions. Reduced fat butter is far different than ordinary butter because it bakes differently.

The protein that egg whites contain provide a lot of strength for batter or dough, this makes it rise and not fall when it is put in the oven.

As you can see, eggs are a staple ingredient in the breakfasts of people throughout the world. Many healthy recipes stem from this simple ingredient.
