Comment on Baking Without Sugar by Judy - New Grain Recipes

Hi y’all. I agree with hazeleyes that for certain things, there simply is no substitute for sugar. It adds weight, chewiness and a crispness to the edges of brownies that I have not been able to duplicate (and I’ve tried!). I love maple syrup too, but it adds moisture that changes the end product, and calls for careful adjustments. It is also expensive and has a distinct flavor that improves some things but overpowers more delicate flavored baked goods. Trying to really lower the carbs in baking products as hazeleyes is, is even harder. Rather than looking for an overall fix, I’m working on it one recipe at a time as each recipe has its own challenges and different solutions work for each. Food bloggers, let me know when you find a good recipe and if you’d like to guest post it.

Hey y’all the best sugar substitute of all is using 100% maple syrup. You do not have to adjust measurements in recipes, its healthy and tastes just the same as sugar when you bake with it. Try it, you’ll like it.

Hi Maureen, You can use all white spelt, or, if wheat is not a problem for you, use part wheat (white flour). I’d never recomend Crisco, trans fats are bad for cardiovascular health, however that is a personal choice. It would certainly work in the recipe.

Hello Judy
Thanks for your ideas of this recipe-I am going to try it for the first time. I have white spelt flour, but no whole grain–can I use 2 and 2/3 c of white flour? Also, I don’t have the spectrum–can I use Crisco instead?
Many thanks

Hi klplaza. Gretchen used vegan Earth Balance with good results. You might also try using extra virgin organic coconut oil. There is no egg in this recipe. Good luck!
