Being a diabetic with a sweet tooth sounds like an impossible combination to deal with, but with so many sugar alternatives available to sweeten your favorite desserts naturally, it’s no longer a big problem. Turning to ingredients like honey, agave nectar, stevia, maple syrup, or even fresh fruit provide a natural sweet flavor to cakes, pies, cookies, and much more without the cloying sweetness of refined sugar. Plus, leaving out the sugar ends up in a healthier dessert, meaning you can indulge in an extra cookie or two without a negative impact on your waistline.
From cookies and pies to some of the most fudgy, decadent cakes you’ve ever seen, replacing sugar with a healthier alternative is an easy step that you should take if you need to be on a sugar-free diet, but don’t want to sacrifice a sweet treat at the end of the day. Check out our guide for 15 sugar free dessert recipes for diabetics that will satisfy your sweet tooth and your sugar-free diet at the same time.
