Dr Oz: Healthier Sugar Substitutes

Dr Oz was challenging his viewers to come up with healthier dessert recipes using specific sugar substitutes. Two viewers already shared their recipes for gluten-free Cinnamon Buns using date sugar and Ginger Molasses Cookies with coconut palm sugar instead of white sugar.

Dr Oz then talked to Tina, who used liquid stevia in her brownies. Tina said the liquid stevia was really easy to cook with. Tina is a baker at Milk & Cookies. Dr Oz said stevia is much sweeter than sugar, so just a little bit is needed. It’s also a part of the Total 10 Rapid Weight-Loss Plan.

Dr Oz talked to the taste-testers who couldn’t see or hear a thing during the entire segment, and they shared that they loved the cookies and the brownies and were shocked to hear that there was no white sugar in them. They said the brownie was “out of this world.”
