Can I use fresh cranberries
Try using coconut sugar instead of white. It is sugar, yes , but not refined or processed and that is the deal breaker for me. Much healthier for you than the refined sugars out there.
I agree
Why do you add pure cane sugar? I thought whole food plant based diet was without salt, oil and sugar?
I was just wondering the same thing, Judy. I like to sweeten desserts with ripe banana, sweet potato, or dates. I’m wondering if there is a WFPB substitution that could be made for the cane sugar in this recipe.
The 1.5 T of sugar for frosting.. . .when does that get added?
Frosting didn’t set up well but the bars were very tasty. Not overly sweet which was nice.
