question on substituting ingredients ~ made the muffins ~....

[aprilsalcro]

I'm making some muffins and the recipe calls for 3/4 cup sugar. I really don't want to use sugar if I don't have to. Is there any thing I can use to replace the sugar. I've read some where but I forgot. Was it apple sauce or is that for something else
Thanks !




I use 1\4 sugar of the raw and 1/4 apple sauce. They came out soo yummy. I really try to avoid adding sugar to my foods .Everyone loved them. Thanks for the replies ladies !

I think applesauce can be used in place of eggs, but I'm not sure on the sugar...I might be wrong!  I honestly don't know as I'm not a baker...sorry!  Good luck though!

You can use applesauce but I'm not sure it would be as sweet.

i use maple syrup in place of sugar

You can leave the sugar out of muffins. It makes very little difference to the texture, and only a little bit to the shelf-life.

Sometimes i add smashed fruit for muffins, like applesauce, banana, orange juice, etc.  Depending on what i have on hand or what's in season.

You could also use raw honey, pure maple syrup, coconut sugar or date sugar or molasses instead.
