To decrease sugar

Reduce sugar in baked goods and desserts

Reduce sugar by 1/4 to 1/3 in baked goods and desserts. Cookies, quick breads and cakes can be successfully baked this way. Substitute flour for the omitted sugar. (Do not decrease sugar in yeast breads because sugar feeds the yeast.)

Increase the use of some spices for flavor
In addition to reducing the amount of sugar in your recipes, you can increase the use of some spices for flavor. Adding cardamon, cinnamon, nutmeg or vanilla to your recipes will enhance the impression of sweetness.

To increase fiber

Choose whole grain for part of your ingredients instead of highly refined products

Use whole wheat flour, oatmeal and whole cornmeal. Whole wheat flour can be substituted for up to 1/2 of all purpose flour. For example, if a recipe calls for 2 cups of flour, try 1 cup all purpose flour and 1 cup minus 1 tablespoon whole wheat flour.
