Searching for sugar free

During the holidays I spent much time searching the internet for sugar-free baking recipes. The result? Much to my dismay it was a lot of Splenda-infused, Stevia-spiked cookies and quick breads.

I've learned from making roasted apple sauces, that fruit has plenty of its own natural sugar to lend sweetness to desserts. But from my Google-ing, I also discovered that "sugar-free" in America generally means without processed white sugar.

Once I started browsing through vegan and gluten-free recipes, I found a few more truly sugarless recipes. I ended up experimenting with Morsels Minus' Banana Bread. I made a few substitutions and left out the dates, but this still turned out unbelievably delicious: moist, sweet and a guilt-free morning treat. (This bread doesn't contain - or even need - butter!)

So, I'm now embarking on a true quest, for your best genuinely sugar-free dessert recipes. I will bake them up and taste test them with the kids at my husband's karate school in Pleasant Valley. The winners will be highlighted on the network.
