Sweet, Healthy Subsititues For Sugar

- 3/4 cup barley malt or rice syrup (reduce liquid in recipe by 1/4 cup)
- Grade B maple syrup (reduce liquid in recipe by 3 tablespoons)
- agave nectar (reduce liquid in recipe by 1/4 cup)
- 1 tablespoon stevia liquid (reduce liquid in recipe by 1 tablespoon)
- 2 to 3 tablespoons stevia (dried herb)
- 1/2 cup apple juice syrup or reduced apple juice (reduce liquid in recipe by 2 tablespoons)

Use brown rice syrup or light agave nectar to replace sugar or honey in light recipes (light refers to taste and texture, e.g. lemon custard).
Use any of the suggested replacements to replace sugar in heavy recipes. Use stevia, brown rice syrup, barley malt, or apple juice for healing recipes (desserts that rely on vegetable qualities rather than sweetners and fats, eg.g sweet potato pudding with tangerine zest)
