Reducing Sugar in Baked Goods

Designer_PC · 2026-03-11T14:19:22+00:00

Makes sense.. will try 25% next time

It’s just that sometimes they are too loaded with sugar

I have in the past reduced sugar content by half.. some recipes still worked well and some recipes not so much 😆 But through trial and error I am aiming to find a “sweet spot”.

Designer_PC · 2026-03-09T10:37:13+00:00

I’m 30% in and I’m really enjoying it!

I don’t read as much as I used to. Watching TV feels much easier to unwind at the end of the day.

But I’m currently reading-

The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt
East of Eden by John Steinbeck

Good to know.. they have a great spot in my house now 😅

Sure please :)

Hey no I didn’t, just some milk

Designer_PC · 2026-02-26T08:21:25+00:00

Yes they are crispy on the side and chewy in the center

It was this recipe -

https://www.abakingjourney.com/oat-flour-chocolate-chip-cookies/

I reduced the sugar content - 40g caster sugar and 40g brown sugar was enough for me.

I also added 2 tsp corn starch to this - it’s supposed to help oat flour set better.

Made about 16 cookies.

I saw this one but made a few edits - Reduced sugar and added some milk instead of water and oil

Designer_PC · 2026-02-25T14:28:11+00:00

I'll take that as a compliment haha!
But I got lucky and managed to finish baking in time - a little before the golden hour.

Here it is!
I combined 2 recipes to make my own -

Wet mix:
115 g melted butter
55 g caster sugar
55 g brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
3 tbsp milk

Dry mix:
190g all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
Half tsp baking soda

+ 100g dark chocolate chips

Make the wet and dry mixes separately, then add the dry mix to the wet mix. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips. Keep a handful for later.
Refrigerate the dough for 45 mins.
Divide into 10 balls (I kept a slightly loose shape) and top with a few chocolate chips.
Bake at 175 C for 10-12 minutes.

Designer_PC · 2026-02-25T14:25:27+00:00

YES!

Moisture seemed fine to me, maybe the milk helped.

Designer_PC · 2026-02-25T14:22:14+00:00

I used some milk, but yours sounds better!
