Cutting extra sugar from her family’s diet does not mean sacrificing mouthwatering food for Brielle Griffin. “Natural sweet from fruits and whole foods can make healthy eating enjoyable,” she explains. Her best no-added sugar recipes are included here.
Breakfast: Banana & Oat Pancakes
Young children of Brielle enjoy these naturally sweet pancakes. “I mash a ripe banana, mix it with eggs, oats, cinnamon, then cook them like regular pancakes,” she says. Naturally sweet and high in fiber are these pancakes.
She also prepares overnight oats for a hurried breakfast. “I top almond milk soaked oats with chia seeds with berries. It’s inherently sweet and creamy, she says.
Snack Time: Apple Slices with Nut Butter
Apple slices topped with almond butter Brielle’s preferred snack. She comments, “It’s crunchy, satisfying, and packed with nutrients.” She prepares homemade energy bites as well. “I roll little balls from dates, walnuts, and chocolate powder. Though they have no additional sugar, they taste like chocolate!
Dinner: Baked Chicken with Sweet Potato Mash
Brielle makes olive oil and herb chicken for a family-friendly dinner. “I make a balanced dinner combining it with steamed vegetables and mashed sweet potatoes,” she says.
Made from scratch tomato soup is another favorite. “I use fresh tomatoes, garlic, and basil—no sugar needed, just natural flavors,” she says.
Brielle makes no-added sugar dishes appealing for adults and children by selecting whole foods and natural ingredients. She notes, “Once you get used to real flavors, you won’t miss the sugar.”
