I have a sweet tooth. Big time. It might just be my greatest weakness.

Sweet Swaps - Baking with Splenda® Sugar Blend

Fortunately, I have found ways to satisfy my sweet tooth with less sugar by using SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener. I use it in my coffee, sprinkle it over fruit, and I bake with it. The thing I love about SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener is that it works pretty much anywhere I might use sugar. For baking I prefer using SPLENDA® Sugar Blend and SPLENDA® Brown Sugar Blend which have half the sugar and half the calories that you’ll get when baking with plain sugar.

Blueberry Crumb Cake is one of those recipes where the SPLENDA® Sugar Blend works perfectly.

This classic crumb cake is perfect for breakfast, dessert, or snacking. I don’t feel so guilty enjoying it, since it has half the calories and sugar. This is an adapted recipe that I pulled from the pages of “Martha Stewart Living” magazine many years ago. I have been making for as far back as I can remember. It’s a good one!
