Looks delicious
Do you have low-sugar or no sugar dessert recipes?
Thanks!
Hi Joyce, are you referring to no refined sugars? We have lots of those, including a date-sweetened category in our recipe index! If you’re referring to sugar from all sources, we don’t have many and rarely use sugar subtitutes. We do have this one: https://minimalistbaker.com/sugar-free-coconut-carob-bars/.
