Review #14852 - Dated: 10th of September, 2015
Author: melissaandchloe |
In the last week my Daughter had been in hospital suffering from a viral infection which mixed with her chronic Eczema which obviously didn't go to well together. As part of our discharge summary from the hospital we were put on a food elimination diet which involved either eliminating or cutting back on various foods in her diet, a big one of these being SUGAR. My first initial thought was how on earth do I do this? Sugar is in a lot of things these days and I love to bake, just as much as Miss 2 loves to eat it.
After going home and researching I found that the supermarkets now sell Splenda in boxes down the baking isle, as a sugar replacement so I thought that this would be a great sugar alternative, though the price was not so nice at $19.99 for a box. But I thought oh well if it's going to help Miss 2's skin it's worth it. The box states that it is a great product to use in baking after all, and with 1 teaspoon of splenda equalling 1 teaspoon of sugar I thought it ought to work well as no need to try and recalculate your measurements.
So upon returning home I decided to get my bake on and starting baking a variety of different items for Miss 2's lunch box, muffins, biscuits, scones and pikelets. Replacing the sugar with splenda, the eggs with apple sauce and the milk with rice milk I was crossing my fingers that my usual recipes would turn out just fine. So placing them in the oven I could hardly take my eyes off the glass window, as I watched and waited anxiously to see if they were going to achieve the same results of those that I am used to. I was pleased to find that all of the products turned out absolutely brilliantly and other than a slightly less sugary taste than you would expect from normal sugar they tasted delicious and you'd hardly no that they contained no sugar.
I would definetely recommend Splenda as a great sugar alternative to those who need to cut back their sugar intake due to weight loss, allergies or just general well being.
