Naturally Sweet

Bake All Your Favorites With 30% to 50% Less Sugar

A collection of truly groundbreaking recipes that rely only on natural, less-processed sweeteners like Sucanat (unrefined cane sugar), coconut sugar, date sugar, honey, maple syrup, or no sweeteners at all, just dried fruit and chocolate. In side-by-side taste tests, people actually preferred the recipes made with less sugar since the alternative sweeteners had deeper, more nuanced flavors than granulated sugar. Find great recipes such as Chocolate Layer Cake, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Strawberry-Chamomile Streusel Bars, Chai Oat Scones and many more. An introduction section summarizes everything we learned during our research and before-and-after sugar comparisons appear on every recipe page.

"Cooks with a powerful sweet tooth should scoop up this well-researched recipe book for healthier takes on classic sweet treats."
