Recipes with no added sugar

Taking the sugar out of a recipe isn't just leaving it out: sugar also gives structure, moisture and color. That's why so many “sugar-free” recipes online come out dry or taste odd. The ones here are adjusted so that doesn't happen.

The sweetness comes from ripe fruit (banana, dates, apple), from dairy and, when needed, from a sweetener such as erythritol, clearly stated in the recipe. None of them promise to taste exactly like the original: they promise to be good enough that you'll make them again.

“No added sugar” means no table sugar, honey or syrup goes in. Fruit has its own sugar, and that's in each recipe's nutrition table so you can see it.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is “no added sugar” the same as sugar-free?

No, and it's worth not mixing them up. “No added sugar” means no sugar, honey or syrup is added to the recipe; the natural sugars in fruit or milk are still there. Every recipe shows the total grams of sugar per serving.

What can I use instead of sugar in a cake?

Very ripe banana and dates work best because they also add moisture. Erythritol and sucralose sweeten but add no body, so in baking you almost always need to make up for it with a little fat or fruit purée. Each recipe says exactly what to use and how much.

Are these recipes suitable for people with diabetes?

Many fit well into a diet with controlled sugar intake, but this isn't medical advice. If you have diabetes, check the amounts with your doctor or dietitian: every case is different.
