Cooking Games and Sugar-Free Baking

There are lots of ways you can play cooking games without using too much sugar, even if you’re baking. There are some rather nice tricks to the trade of baking and with a bit of clever savvy and practice, you can make delicious desserts that are sweetened with natural ingredients or at least reasonable sugar substitutes to avoid some of the empty calories cooking games often have.

Sugar Substitutes – One of the easiest ways to reduce the calories of the cooking games is to simply remove the sugar that is required in the cake or cookie mix and add in a sugar substitute instead. Be very careful with the measurements of the sugar substitute, however, as it does not always measure exactly like traditional sugar does.

Applesauce – Another popular choice for cookies and cakes that require large amounts of oil and sugar is to substitute apple sauce or other fruit purees to produce the sweetness and moisture that those elements would normally have.
