What do I mean by sugar free desserts?

In this case, none of the sugar free desserts in this post use any concentrated sweeteners not even natural concentrated sweeteners…so that means no honey, no coconut sugar, no maple syrup, no raw sugar.

These no sugar recipes are allowed to use whole fruit like bananas or in some cases whole dates. For the most part these recipes rely on the natural sweetness of whole fruit or other ingredients without added sugar.

Why make sugar free desserts?

Consuming whole fruit with some added healthy fats helps to mitigate against blood sugar spikes since the nutrients and fiber in the fruit along with the fat help you to avoid a straight shot of just sugar and carbs.

If you want to know more about why you should should cut down on the sugar, make sure you read my article on 5 Scary Effects of Sugar on Your Health.

Not all of these recipes are low carb or keto, but many of them are, making it perfect if you’re on a low carb diet or for diabetics.

There are many useful tips to make sugar cravings go away. I’ve consumed no added sugar for years now and have some helpful tips to make it easier!
