1. Basic sugar-free brownies
Ingredients:
- 2 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate,
- 1/2 cup butter,
- 3 eggs,
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder,
- 2 cups granulated sugar substitute (like Splenda),
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract,
- 1 cup flour
These brownies are simple to make and can be whipped up in minutes. Just melt the chocolate and butter on low heat in a small saucepan. Then mix everything else in a bowl until well combined — pour the batter into a greased 8×8 inch pan and spread it around evenly. Allow the brownies to cool for at least 20 minutes, then cut into squares and enjoy! Bake at 350F for 35 to 35 minutes — you’ll know they’re done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean!
2. Chocolate pudding mug cake
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp. butter (optional),
- 1/4 cup sugar substitute (like Sweet ‘n Low or Splenda),
- 2 tbsp. cocoa powder,
- 2 tbsp. milk,
- 2 tbsp. Greek yogurt,
- 1/4 cup flour
You can whip up this quick cake in 3 minutes — just mix everything in a small bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds to melt the butter if you’d like it buttery. Pour the batter into a mug and eat warm.
3. Sugar-free apple crisp
Ingredients:
- 1 green apple,
- 3/4 cup oats,
- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour,
- 1 egg white,
- 1 tsp. baking powder,
- 1 cup brown sugar substitute (like Stevia or Splenda),
- 1 tsp. cinnamon,
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
A great alternative to traditional applesauce recipes. You can adjust the amount of brown sugar substitute for a sweeter or less-sweet version — bake it in a small casserole dish that’s been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Combine all the ingredients in a big bowl and mix until well combined — then pour the batter into a greased baking pan and bake at 350F for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the apples are soft.
4. Sugared strawberries
Ingredients:
- 1 cup sugar substitute (like Splenda),
- 1 cup fructose (sugar alcohol),
- 2 tbsp. water,
- 1 tbsp. lemon juice,
- 2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
Use the same method as for the chocolate pudding mug cake. In a small saucepan, add the sugar substitute and water — bring to a boil and simmer until it reaches 275F. While it’s cooking, mash up the strawberries into a paste using a fork or potato masher. Mix in lemon juice and vanilla extract — then pour the hot syrup into mugs and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Eat with a spoon or an ice-cream scoop — enjoy!
5. Cocoa powder cookies

- 1 egg,
- 3/4 cup sugar substitute (like Splenda or Splenda coconut blend),
- 1 tsp. baking soda
The simplest version of chocolate chip cookies requires just a few ingredients — mix everything in a bowl and press the dough into a greased 8-inch square pan. Bake at 350F for 10 to 12 minutes. The result is delicious — chocolate chip cookies that taste as they came from the bakery!

Take the cookies out of the oven and let them cool before cutting into squares — they’ll taste just as good when they’re cut a day or two later.
7. Mocha meringue dessert
Ingredients:
- 2 cups sugar substitute (like Stevia or Splenda),

- 2 tbsp. espresso powder dissolved in 4 tablespoons water
This is the easiest meringue recipe ever — just mix everything in a medium-sized bowl until the egg whites are stiff. Pour into a greased pie dish and bake at 200F for 10 to 12 minutes. Sprinkle additional cocoa powder and sugar substitute before serving if you’d like.

9. Coconut flour cookies
Ingredients:
- 1 cup coconut flour,
- 3/4 cup sugar substitute (like Stevia or Splenda),
- 2 eggs,
- 1 tsp. baking powder
Another easy recipe that can be made with just a few ingredients — mix everything until well combined. If the dough is too wet, add a little more coconut flour.

Bake at 350F for 10 to 12 minutes, then let them cool for at least 30 minutes. Enjoy!
