Health Tip: Bake With Less Sugar
Cutting down on sugar in your delectable desserts doesn't have to mean sacrificing taste or enjoyment.
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics offers these suggestions for baking with less sugar:
- Cut back the sugar by a fourth or even a third in baked goods such as cakes, cookies and breads.
- Instead of frosting a cake, top it with pureed fruit, slices of fruit or a light dusting of powdered sugar.
- Use spices and extracts to naturally sweeten desserts. Examples include vanilla, peppermint, cinnamon, allspice or nutmeg.
- Don't be afraid to experiment.
