I don’t know about you but I’ve been I baking more during this unprecedented upheaval in our lives. I have found that baking and seeing everyone else’s baked goods on social media is uniquely comforting.

Lately, I’ve spent time researching dessert recipes with less sugar or sugar substitutes like SPLENDA^® in them to post on the blog. 

SPLENDA^® is made from the FDA-approved artificial sweetener sucralose – a zero calorie artificial sweetener. According to Verywell Health, sucralose is made from sugar in a multi-step chemical process where 3 hydrogen-oxygen groups are replaced with chlorine atoms.

Keep in mind, when it comes to managing diabetes, all carbohydrates count. Just because a recipe contains SPLENDA^®, doesn’t mean its carbohydrate-free.
