Pages: 1 Omitting some of the sugar from a recipe       #342170 - 02/16/09 06:48 AM Edit Reply Quote Jordy Reged: 08/12/06 Posts: 2095 Hi All, I have a recipe for sweet potato muffins that calls for 1 1/2 cup sugar. Is it possible to reduce the amount of sugar to say, maybe 3/4 cup or even 1/2, without having to make any other changes to the recipe? How about substituting brown sugar for the white in the recipe? It calls for 1 1/2 cup white sugar but that seems so much to me. Any ideas on what you would use? thanks -------------------- IBS-C with pain and bloat Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Omitting some of the sugar from a recipe       #342203 - 02/16/09 04:40 PM Edit Reply Quote Little Minnie Reged: 04/16/04 Posts: 4987 Loc: Minnesota When you lessen the sugar it messes with the texture of the product. Instead of altering the recipe (too much), try to find a recipe with less sugar to begin with.

Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!

I do on almost on half of what I bake and it turns out fine. LIke itf it sayd 1/ 1/4 I leave the 1/4 out. Try it and see. emmasmom ibs-c gas Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Omitting some of the sugar from a recipe       #342217 - 02/17/09 07:46 AM Edit Reply Quote Jordy Reged: 08/12/06 Posts: 2095 Well, a half would be 3/4 cup. You think that's too much? Thanks so much -------------------- IBS-C with pain and bloat Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     this is a gf recipe       #342218 - 02/17/09 07:47 AM Edit Reply Quote Jordy Reged: 08/12/06 Posts: 2095 so not sure I can find another, but I'll look. -------------------- IBS-C with pain and bloat Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Omitting some of the sugar from a recipe       #342222 - 02/17/09 11:43 AM Edit Reply Quote emmasmom Reged: 09/22/06 Posts: 1710 Loc: ILL I don't think it sounds like to much at all. Try and see. If I was making it I would just either leave the half cup out or just do 1 1/4. Just remeber its going through the whole bread not in one serving. hth emmasmom ibs-c gas Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Omitting some of the sugar from a recipe       #342256 - 02/17/09 10:50 PM Edit Reply Quote SLiCKsGiRL Reged: 06/20/04 Posts: 428 Loc: Western Washington Or could you maybe increase the servings? Like cut the muffins in half or thirds so you're getting less per serving? -------------------- ~*Amber*~ Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1
