Family, fun and food surround the summer season. For those watching what they eat, this time of year can be stressful due to the number of parties with excessive amounts of sugary snacks and desserts. Sans Sucre Baking Mixes are flavored with Stevia, an all-natural sweetener so that desserts can be enjoyed without the extra calories. In addition to being sugar-free or no sugar added, they are low fat, no cholesterol, lower in calories and lower in sodium. However, there is a distinct difference in taste between Stevia and regular sugar. “Like soda and diet soda both Stevia and sugar have different flavor profiles,” says Steven Bernard, chief executive officer of Bernard Food Industries, the manufacturer of Sans Sucre mixes.
Sans Sucre sent me 2 of their baking mixes. I made the Chocolate Fudge brownies first, and they were devoured in no time. My only comment about them is that I prefer a more fudgey brownie, and these were more on the cakey side than the fudgey side.
Each mix was super easy to prepare – just add oa little water and a couple tablespoons of oil, mix, pour into lined baking pan and bake. Almost immediately, the entire kitchen and house begins to smell like cake or brownies you’ve been working on for much longer than a few minutes. Within a half an hour your brownies or cake is ready to come out of the oven. The hardest part of the process is waiting for them to cool before digging in right away!
If you can’t find these mixes in your local grocery store, you can definitely find them online at Amazon.com and eDietshop.com! Each mix retails between $3.99 – $4.49.
