Low sugar desserts give a bite of sweet joy and are more healthy than the version of childhood cakes, cookies, and sweet treat desserts many of us grew up with.
Your sweet taste buds learn to agree. And the best part is it’s just a few ingredient tweaks. You save money in your wallet making your own goods (…some don’t even need baking!) AND you thin your waist line.
…What’s not to love about all that?
Discovering anti-inflammatory foods as most healthy and how to pair flavors is life’s greatest secret. I started out my adult working life as a hotel catering manager where health and healthy eating was not a priority.
And before that I was a sweet tooth kiddo who ate teaspoons of sugar right out of the jar and all the weekly packaged grocery store sweets you and I know!
Thankfully I grew up to be a healthy adult both in food, healthy supplements, and in mind-body-spirit. And worked my way to event managing and planning Mediterranean diet food menus from a dozen Spanish, Italian, and Lebanese restaurant kitchens.
…That was more my comfort cooking type of food that fed my soul.
Today, I’m a healthy friend as many of my close friends who know me refer to me as.
And I share my healthy, inspired low-sugar sweet recipes sprinkled all over this healthy living blog…
One thing I know and believe today is that an anti-inflammatory diet is the healthiest best out there. This is backed up from years of passionate research and from my own journey to prevent eczema flareups… that I discovered for the first time a few years back.
That first-time ever adult episode shocked me and eventually led me to the hospital emergency room for an infection complication. In life’s callings, as a parallel at the same time I was researching and writing about healthy food topics for major health publications.
I’ve also been home baking weekly since 2020. I know that baking in anti-inflammatory love with the right type of white powders (that are healthy low-sugar and low-gluten flours) are the healthy success food factors.
…That help also for weight loss, clear skin (free of eczema flareups that’s my sign… and maybe yours as eczema is pretty common these days), and for a healthy body that’s free and clear of disease.
The emphasis is on low sugar (vs. high sugar) desserts that prevent skin flareups like eczema and more seriously… adult lifestyle diabetes on the rise.
With symptoms and diseases from preventable lifestyle choices, you never have to experience those unhealthy effects with some minor tweaks.
And the best part is: the less table sugar you eat, the less sugar you crave because sugar is addictive like a drug substance.
But if you cut it out completely and have a sweet tooth, then you’ll be denying yourself and missing out… and I wholeheartedly believe we have sweet taste buds on the front of our tongues because nature intended us to enjoy fruit and honey that have sweetness and nutrients. Thankfully nature also made it so that we have fewer sweet taste buds as we age.
Most of us can enjoy low-sugar sweet recipes… guilt-free! 😊
You can enjoy and bake your own low-sugar desserts that replace packaged sweets and fresh, high-sugar goods.
Some are even no-bake easy and as delicious as anything out there!
The low-sugar recipes below can be made in simple steps and many of the ingredients are pantry-friendly, gluten-free, and vegan.
By challenging yourself to making your own, you’ll gain confidence with your oven and in the kitchen.
…And my hope for you is you’ll love low-sugar soon enough and come up with your own low sugar desserts to enjoy and share with friends and loved ones. 🍥
