My Top 4 Replacements For Sugar

For our healthy desserts, we don’t want to use any processed sugars, like white sugar, high fructose corn syrup, sucrose, or any kind of sugar that comes from a factory.

So what can you use instead?

1. Fresh Fruits

My go-to choices for sweeteners are simply fruits. For instance, you can experiment with adding whole apples to your next batch of whole wheat pancakes. During strawberry season, I often dice up some strawberries. Mix them into my Greek yogurt. Another tasty option is to use bananas as a sweetener in my dessert recipes.

2. Dried Fruits

Many of you are probably familiar with the impact of raisins in muesli or baked goods. However, have you ever experimented with dates or date paste? Unless you follow a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle, it’s likely that you haven’t yet incorporated them into your kitchen essentials. Personally, I always make sure to keep a stock of dates in my refrigerator. By storing them in an airtight container, they can remain fresh for up to six months.

Dates can serve as a foundation for crafting granola bars or even preparing brownie batter. In the eating brownie recipe. I’m about to share with you that we’ll explore how to incorporate dates. Unlike processed sugars, dates are abundant in fiber, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, and copper. However, due to their glycemic index (comparable to sugar), it’s advisable to use them moderately.

3. Cinnamon

I love to spice up a cup of coffee with cinnamon. This super spice adds just a subtle sweetness to many desserts, and it adds no calories!

4. Raw Honey (unprocessed)

Honey, besides its sweetness, contains around 200 components such as pollen, minerals, proteins, enzymes, amino acids, vitamins, and more. To preserve the enzymes in honey, it’s best to avoid heating it above 40 degrees.

However, like any sweetener, honey should be used in moderation. If you’re uncertain about the amount to use, my suggestion would be “less is more”! It’s important to note that honey consists of 70–80% fructose and glucose. Because of this similarity to sugar, excessive consumption can have effects on your blood sugar levels, dental health, and overall well-being.

Top 5 Clean Eating Desserts

1) Frozen Grapes

Put some grapes in the freezer for a couple of hours. Savor a delightful, subtly sweet indulgence. Of course, they also make for an option if you’re looking for a healthy snack idea.

2) Simple 1-Ingredient Banana Ice Cream

If you’re a fan of bananas, then this delightful frozen treat is perfect for you! For some variety, try adding a couple of teaspoons of cocoa powder to give it a hint of chocolate flavor. Another option is to include a dollop of peanut or almond butter.

3) Frozen Chocolate Covered Banana Pops

INGREDIENTS

2 bananas
100g dark chocolate or chocolate chips
100 hacked nuts

INSTRUCTIONS

Sure! Here’s the paraphrased version:

Alright, the preparation might take a little longer. Once you’re done, you can keep it in your freezer for up to two weeks. Although I doubt it will actually last that long,

Start by cutting the peeled bananas in half across their width and then sticking a stick into each half.

Next, place them on a tray. Cover them with a wrap before putting them in the freezer for at least three hours.

Once they are frozen, take one out at a time. Dip it into melted chocolate (70%). After that…

Immediately roll it in your topping. You can go for toppings like chopped nuts, peanuts, granola, or sesame seeds; they all work well!

Finally, wrap each one individually, either with waxed paper or plastic wrap. Put them back in the freezer until the chocolate has set.

I hope this helps! Enjoy your treats!

4) Gluten-Free Chia Pudding

Chia has become incredibly popular recently, which is why I decided to focus a challenge on this superfood during week 40. Chia seed puddings are also fantastic because they can be prepared quickly and easily.

5) Fiber-Rich Brownie Bites

INGREDIENTS

2 cups (200g) pitted (Medjool) dates
150g (1 1/2 cups) almonds
50g (1/2 cup) unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tbsp honey
1/4 tsp. seasalt
50g (1/2 cup) pecans (fine hacked)
a small casserole dish (8×8 inch/20x20cm)

INSTRUCTIONS

Start by pouring water over the dates in a bowl and allowing them to soak for 10 minutes.
Next, place the almonds in a food processor. Process them until they turn into flour.
Add cocoa powder, honey, and a pinch of sea salt, to this brownie recipe. Process again until the mixture transforms into a dark chocolate paste.
Drain the water from the dates. Add them to the mixture. Process more, making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Continue until the mixture sticks together well and the dates are thoroughly processed.
Incorporate finely chopped pecans into your dough by kneading them.
Spread the resulting mixture into a small casserole dish measuring 8×8 inches, pressing it down firmly.
Cover your brownie dough with plastic wrap. Place it in either the freezer or refrigerator until you’re ready to serve.
Once they have chilled, completely cut your brownies into 49 pieces ( 1 inch/2.8 cm each). Store these treats in an airtight container.

Notes: Dates, almonds, and pecans are ingredients that provide energy. Nuts, in particular, are rich in fats and calories. However, what makes this treat unique is the absence of processed sugar and flour. As a result, even a small portion can satisfy your cravings for periods of time. By consuming calories, your body benefits from digesting fiber, vitamins, and minerals that contribute to overall wellness.

As someone who used to have a love for chocolate, I must confess that my cravings can now be fulfilled with a single bite of a brownie. I suggest opting for Medjool dates. Choosing only organic varieties as conventional dates are often treated with fertilizers.
