I have a question for ya...found a recipe for yummy squash muffins but it still calls for 2/3 cup of sugar. I cut it back to 1/3 and they were great but I'd still like to cut it all out. Do you think I should replace the sugar with something else?

Meg said...

Yes, I usually replace refined sugar with a more natural sweetener like organic maple syrup, honey, rapadura, or sucanut. I use maple syrup the most often, mainly because I have a good source for buying it in bulk at a good price. I use maple syrup in almost all of my muffin recipes. You kind of have to play with the recipe until you get it the way you like it, but it usually tastes just as good. With maple syrup and rapadura, I usually start with the exact amount the recipe calls for and then the next time I might cut it down a bit to see if I still like it. My raw honey is a bit stronger, so I often use less right from the start. Cookies are the only thing I've found that don't do well with maple syrup -- they turn out completely flat :) Rapadura works much better for cookies.

Always enjoy your meal plans! Thanks for posting. I know when I hit a wall with making the same things over and over I can come here and you have some good new things to try! The creamy tomato and sausage with bowtie pasta has become a favorite and I'm thinking lime chicken burritos may be next. :)

We have been HFC-free for three years. It does make a difference.

Where do you get coconut oil in bulk? As in 25# or more?

I get my coconut oil at Wilderness Family Naturals and I've been really pleased with them! I have a friend who collects orders from everyone in our area so she buys in huge quantities and gets a great price. I also buy their olive oil, freeze-dried coconut flakes, and Muscovado sugar.
