HOT TIP: FRESH AND HEALTHY

Summer is the perfect time to cut down on refined sugars. Go outside and pick some ripe fruits and berries to make your creations naturally sweet. They pair great with no-bake sweets. Is it your first time making them? Here are some healthy alternatives you can try:

  • Dates: This sweet and juicy fruit acts as a natural sweetener. Soak the dates beforehand, crush them into mash and add them to the raw dough or filling.

  • Honey or syrup: Natural sweeteners such as honey or maple syrup are a great substitute for refined sugar. They are just as sweet and offer many additional health benefits. If you’re baking for people with diabetes, try the chicory syrup. Visit your local supermarket and have a look at what’s on offer. How about the rice or agave syrups? Bear in mind that these syrups are a bit runnier, so adjust your recipe accordingly. 

  • Fruits: Utilize the natural sweetness of the fruit. Cut it into pieces or mash it and add it to your no-bake creations.
