Are you avoiding refined sugars? I have you covered with lots of desserts that are refined sugar free, plus some naturally sweetened main dishes to round things out.

💡 Tips for Cooking Without Refined Sugars

  • Instead of refined white sugar or brown sugar (which is just white sugar mixed with molasses), use unprocessed alternatives like maple syrup and coconut sugar.
  • You can also use juice and dates to sweeten instead of sugar.
  • Look for refined sugars in products you might not expect, like bread, vegan milk, and salad dressings.

These refined sugar free recipes have options for vegan desserts like cakes, cookies, brownies, etc. No matter what sweet treat you’re craving, there’s an option for you here! And, of course, I include treats that have gluten-free, nut-free, and/or soy-free options, too, to accommodate special diets.

Craving something savory? Refined sugars can sneak into savory cooking, too, like sticky sauces. Find refined sugar free versions of those recipes in this section, as well.
