Stevia, nature's zero-calorie sustainable sweetener: A new player in the fight against obesity Nutr Today. 2015;50(3):129-134. doi:10.1097/NT.0000000000000094 Looking for a low sugar carrot cake recipe?

Have you ever wished there was such a thing as zero-calorie baking? I sure have. What if that piece of pie, cupcake, or blueberry muffin added no calories at all to your daily diet? As is typically true with scones, most of the sweetness (and interest) comes from either the jam you add afterwards or the add-ins: chiefly fruit, spices, and chips. These scones feature chopped apple, butterscotch or cinnamon chips, and a significant shower of sparkling sugar on top; the scone dough itself is barely sweet. Scones: Made with granulated sugar I’m not going to lie, I’ve had my doubts with some sugar substitutions in the past. Truvia® Baking Blend is a blend of Truvia® natural sweetener, which is developed from the Stevia plant and sugar, so it’s truly all natural. It really does give your baked goods a sugar-like taste with a lot less calories.As soon as the cake is cool, wrap well or pop it in an airtight container to avoid it drying out. If you don’t want to eat the cake, you can always freeze until you ready to eat. Just make sure you defrost thoroughly before icing. Be careful not to overbake as this can dry the edges of the cake out – as soon as it is well risen, and a skewer comes out clean take the cake out of the oven. In summary, until something better comes along, I think simply reducing the amount of granulated sugar in your favorite baked goods yields better results than using an alternative sugar.
