The Basics of Clean Eating and Baking
For the purposes of this book, the treat recipes avoid ingredients that are highly processed; meaning, that they are so far from nature that they lack any nutrition. This includes ready-made mixes and items with preservative-filled, mystery ingredients.
When it comes to using a sweetener for the treats in this cookbook, I’ve chosen to test and create recipes with honey, maple syrup, and coconut palm sugar. Coconut sugar also contains zinc and calcium, plus antioxidants and probiotics. So, for these reasons, along with the fact that it’s unrefined, I’ve chosen it as the replacement for granulated (white and brown) sugar in this cookbook; it’s my favorite clean sweetener to use.
This is not a sugar-free cookbook, however. It’s a desserts cookbook that includes recipes made with clean ingredients. Of course, ingredients will always vary by brand, such as the case with chocolate chips. So make sure to check the label whenever possible.
When it comes to clean meals, it’s easy to follow a recipe and stick with a plan. The key word: plan. But when the craving for something sweet sets in, it’s tempting to grab a candy bar while waiting at the check-out line or to throw a box of cookies in the grocery cart.
I hope the recipes in this cookbook help you avoid purchasing convenient, processed desserts while letting you enjoy a sweet treat from time to time with your family and friends.
