Page 10 CASA NUTRITION TIP: Ideas Using Sugar Substitutes in Holiday Treats Holiday desserts can easily be made healthier, but they still need that familiar sweet flavor.

Those options aren t significantly healthier, but their stronger flavor means you can use less to produce the same flavorful results.

10 Page 10 CASA NUTRITION TIP: Ideas Using Sugar Substitutes in Holiday Treats Holiday desserts can easily be made healthier, but they still need that familiar sweet flavor. For that, you would typically use sugar. In many of your senior recipes, you may be able to substitute honey, maple syrup, molasses, agave nectar or turbinado sugar for the granulated sugar. Those options aren t significantly healthier, but their stronger flavor means you can use less to produce the same flavorful results. You can also reduce the amount of sugar that your recipes call for. With many desserts, seniors won t notice if you use ¾ of a cup instead of a full cup of sugar and, you may even be able to cut the sugar down to ½ cup without any noticeable taste difference. Reduce White Flour in Senior Recipes Enriched white flour a major ingredient in many holiday dessert recipes has very few vitamins and minerals. Replacing it with whole-grain flour can make sweets much healthier for your assisted living or nursing home menus. Although whole wheat is the most popular, many different types of healthy flour are available. Replacing white flour with the wheat variety gives your dessert treats a boost of nutrients and heart-healthy fiber. However, because whole wheat flour is coarser and can change the texture of your holiday sweets, it s best to replace only a portion of the white flour called for. Start with a fifty-fifty mix of each type, and gradually increase the amount of wheat until you reach the right balance. Or, you may want to try white whole wheat flour, as it has a milder taste and lighter texture. Who we are... Richard J.
