Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice
Are your teeth on the naughty or nice list? We all know that the holidays are filled with cookies, pies and candy canes. To keep your teeth on the nice list this year, consider the following tips when baking your traditional holiday treats.
- Search for recipes that contain less sugar, such as, “low sugar chocolate chip cookies” or “healthy apple pie”
- Consider using natural alternative sweeteners – check out this list for suggestions to help you reduce sugar in your recipes
- Implement a new tradition – instead of cinnamon rolls for brunch, try oatmeal muffins!
Remember – if you are trying out a new recipe, make it for yourself first to see if you need to tweak any of the ingredients. Treats can be consumed in moderation, so indulge responsibly!
