The holiday season is an awesome opportunity to get together with friends and fam, celebrate the year that has been, and perhaps indulge in a tasty Christmas treat or two.
While we’re of the belief that foods of all kinds are there to be enjoyed and celebrated (in moderation), there are more responsible ways to indulge this silly season that don’t involve the cups and cups of sugar we often see at this time of the year.
Here are six amazing holiday themed recipes from us to you, that all come responsibly sweetened with Lakanto’s incredible monkfruit sweetener range. Merry Christmas to us all!
Golden Sticky Toffee Pudding
If you’ve ever made a traditional Christmas pudding, you’ll know just how much sugar and dried fruit (aka more sugar) goes into them (no wonder they last, like, forever!).
Our version is all the sweet, sticky goodness that is Chrissie Pud, but comes almost completely added sugar free!
