    Naturally Sweetened Desserts

    • Cookies
    • Ice Cream & Popsicles & Sorbet
    • Brownies & Bars
    • Cakes & Tarts & Pies
    • Crisps & Crumbles
    • Muffins & Quick Breads
    • Pudding

    • Naturally Sweetened Treats

    I prefer to bake with natural sweeteners such as coconut sugar or maple syrup for a few reasons. The first reason is that natural sweeteners contain minerals and nutrients which help with digestion of the sugar whereas white refined sugar is totally devoid of nutrients. Therefore white sugar strips the body of nutrients just for its own assimilation.

    The second reason is you can't beat the flavour that that natural sweeteners such as honey lend to baked goods. I'm an even bigger fan of desserts that are naturally sweetened with fruit such as bananas, dates or applesauce. Because of the fibre in the fruit the natural sugars will not be digested so quickly. This helps to keep your blood sugar levels steady.

    I hope you will find some inspiration for your next healthy bake here. Browse this post like it's a small cookbook curated with healthier baking in mind. Enjoy!

    I’m Christy

    a happy wife and mother to three boys, a nutritionist, a food lover and a Canadian. Creating and experimenting in the kitchen is my idea of an afternoon well spent.
