I love cakes, cookies and sweets in general, but my skin doesn`t like the sugar too much. Because of that I try to avoid sugar as much as possible and I`ve been pretty good at it. But damn, it`s hard sometimes… If I eat a piece of cake I`m not able to fully enjoy it and my conscience isn`t very good afterwards. I`ve found out that eating cakes and candy containing other sweeteners instead of sugar is a much better option for me. I`ve tried adding Splenda to certain recipes instead of sugar, but the results haven`t been very good so far. Maybey the recipes I`ve chosen doesn`t quite fit… :shrug: So I was just wondering if anybody here know of a good recipe (or two) for cakes etc. with sweeteners? Would make me happy! 🙂
have you tried Stevia extract? its the same principle as Splenda and all those, but its all natural, comes directly from the Stevia plant. (so there’s no worries about harmful chemicals) i haven’t used it in baking but i think people do. i unfortunately can’t kick the real sugar habit yet myself…
No I haven`t tried Stevia, but it`s not very common here and sooo expensive… 🙁 It sucks that everything healthy (or healthier at least) should be so expensive…
I found this site through eaglefeather on facebook…. I haven’t tried anything in it though, but they look like they might be good. Being a diabetic I’m not really allowed too much sugar either, while giving up chocolate was child’s play – I love baked goods….. mmmm. I’m starting to find a few reduced sugar/no sugar recipes that look good, but haven’t had a chance to make them. :shrug:
