There’s nothing better than the smell of a warm cake, homemade cookies or a fresh pie baking away. Sweet treats often means cups of added sugar, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Low sugar baking is simpler than you think, it just comes down to choosing the right ingredients. Sugar alternatives like Splenda Granulated makes cutting back on sugar easy. It’s a sucralose-based sweetener that measures and bakes just like sugar, so you can make a simple swap without worrying about changing the measurements in your favourite recipes.
