Here at Delish, we're not ones to skimp on the sweet stuff—but we ARE advocates for being creative and adaptable in the kitchen. In our eyes, recipes are basically just the starting point. Cooking and baking endeavors are meant to be adventures—processes of trial and error and discovery.
Simple ingredient substitutions are the perfect opportunities for experimentation. So we thought, why not start with everyone's favorite white granular staple? Turns out, most recipes that call for sugar can get their sweetness from another source—and they'll taste just as good (or sometimes better). So, whether you're fresh out, adapting for a food sensitivity, or just feeling inspired, we have more than a few sugar substitutions to try in your recipes.
PS: We also love this list from greatist.com recommending substitutions for specific situations. Impressive!
