10 low-sugar & sugar-free desserts & treats
I have a sweet tooth, which is a huge problem! But I have really been trying to cut down on sugar recently. It is hard, and sometimes I am literally crawling the walls wanting chocolate, but I know I just have to ride the wave and not have it – once I get over the wave I don’t want it anymore and I have forgotten about it. But sometimes you just want a treat, or you want dessert, and a high sugar content is always an issue with those types of recipes. But here are 10 recipes for treats and desserts that are low or sugar free, and so delicious!
Healthy Buckeye Balls
This recipe from Desserts With Benefits, makes delicious chocolate peanut butter balls that are sugar free, low Carb, high protein and gluten free. I first had Buckeyes several years ago when a neighbor made them for Christmas and brought some round to us. I couldn’t believe I hadn’t discovered these absolutely delicious treats before then! They are just so good, and I am so excited that there is a healthier recipe that actually tastes really good! Click here for the recipe.

Lemon Drop Cookies
Lemon drop cookies are just the perfect cookie to have with a cup of tea! (or biscuit as we call them in the UK). But they are also good to eat on their own during any season whatsoever (sometimes lemon just brings to mind summer!). So I was very excited to find this sugar-free Lemon Drop recipe.
