Sweetener Tips for Holiday Baking Without Traditional Sugar

When baking for diabetics, choosing the right sweetener can make a big difference in both taste and success in the kitchen. Many recipes use alternatives to traditional sugar that help reduce overall sugar content while still giving desserts great sweetness and flavor.

• Stevia – A popular plant-based sweetener that works well in many no-bake and light dessert recipes.
• Monk Fruit Sweetener – Known for its clean, sugar-like taste and great for cookies, cakes, and frostings.
• Erythritol or Blends (Like Swerve) – Often used in baked goods because it measures similarly to sugar and helps with texture.
• Allulose – A newer sweetener many bakers love because it browns and softens desserts in a way closer to traditional sugar.

📌 Helpful Tip: Always check labels and follow the sweetener amounts listed in each recipe. Not all sugar substitutes measure the same, and some taste sweeter than sugar, so accuracy matters.
