Join me on my quest of making homemade treats with less sugar!
Recently my church friend, Anna, taught me how to make Macau almond cookies. I didn’t know how easy it could be until her detailed explanation. My immediate thought was like, hm… could I turn it into a sugar-free version? I put my thoughts into action after purchasing mung bean flour from the grocery store. I... Continue Reading →
I shared my recipe for Mini Chocolate Éclairs back in 2016 and this time I’ve turned it into a sugar-free version. Believe it or not, the eclair shell itself, which is a kind of Choux pastry, doesn’t contain much sugar. All the sweetness comes from the filling and the glaze on top. I tested with...

Not long ago I shared with you my Keto Japanese Cheesecake recipe which contains a net carb of 12.3 g for the entire cake. This time I’m sharing with you another Japanese cheesecake recipe that is also made with natural sweetener which won’t cause a spike in blood sugar. Unlike the Keto version, this sugar-free...

Happy 2021! Last year went by pretty fast as our family had been staying home most of the time due to the lockdown. Hope that the pandemic mode and lockdown will be over soon and everything will slowly get back to normal. This was the first sugar-free treat I made for myself this year. Both... Continue Reading →
I made this white bean paste out of sugar substitute for my mooncake this year. Compared to Japanese white bean paste which is super sweet, this white bean paste is only lightly sweetened. The reduced sugar amount will make the bean paste dry and crumbly so oil is needed to make up for the moisture... Continue Reading →
I’ve been baking with erythritol recently (read about my blog posts, Sugar-Free Chocolate Chip Muffins, Sugar-Free Brown Rice Chiffon Cake and Sugar-Free Matcha Nougat with Almonds) and this time I used it for bread making. Apart from using natural sweetener, I’ve replaced the whipping cream in my Pai Bao recipe with unsweetened almond milk, which... Continue Reading →
Here’s another sugar-free baked goods I made the past weekend. I tweaked my Double Chocolate Muffins recipe by replacing the sugar with natural sweetener. In order to further cut down the carbohydrate amount, one third of the flour is substituted with almond flour. I’ve also included some Kamut flour in my recipe for added nutrients....

The cake recipe I’m sharing today is free of sugar, gluten as well as diary. It’s basically just Sugar-Free Chiffon Cake with a slight twist in which I replaced the flour with brown rice flour and milk with soy milk. That’s it. Straightforward right? If you don’t have brown rice flour handy then rice flour... Continue Reading →
I’m sharing with you my sugar-free version of Chinese custard filling that I used for my sugar-free custard mooncakes I made this year (recipe to be followed). Here in the recipe, granulated sugar is replaced with a natural sweetener that is a blend of monk fruit and erythritol. The result was pretty good. There was... Continue Reading →
Last week I’ve written a blog post about Sugar-Free Snowflake Nougat which contains nuts, dried fruits and sugar-free biscuits. Dried fruits are high in fructose so are not too diabetic-friendly if consumed in great amount. For that reason, I’m gonna share with my readers a sugar-free nougat recipe that contains only roasted almond. I’ve also... Continue Reading →
