Sugar Free Toddlers

I've used this book for years, from the time that my son was a toddler in a sugar-free pre-school (That was about 17 years ago) to the present time, when I cook sugar-free baked goodies for cancer patients. Many recipes have become family favorites. My copy is dog-earred and stained from much use. I love that the recipes use fruit juices and dried fruit as sweeteners, no chemical substitutes. We've also tried using gluten-free flours in many recipes, and they work just as well. It's a terrific book, good not just for toddlers, but for anyone who loves treats but wants to explore healthy, tasty alternatives. Thank you Susan!

We discovered that both my daughter and I are Sugar Sensitive and needed to start cutting refined sugars out of our diets. I got this book from the library and ended up using almost daily so I had to buy a copy. Many of the recipes use concentrated fruit juice or real fruit to sweeten things up. This cookbook saved me when I started cutting out sugar and allowed me to still look forward to baking!

I'm really glad to have this book. It's my favorite recipe book for baking with and for my toddler. Some of the recipes have been disappointing, though (because they taste rather bland), but some are really good. My suggestion would be to start these before your child ever tastes table sugar, and then they'd probably all taste good. The pumpkin muffins, called "Peter's Favorite Mini Muffins" are my 3 yr. old son's favorite. He'll eat 5 or more in a day, if I don't pay attention. I've found that they act like a laxative if he eats more than a couple. The handy thing is that we've substituted all kinds of ingredients (apple sauce combined with any fruit juice for the apple juice concentrate, other fruits for the raisins, etc.) and they still turn out great! We also like the Apple-Raisin Oatmeal Cookies. And the recipes are mostly easy to make and quick, which I really appreciate.

This book is a blessing! All of the ingredients used are normal and easy to have on hand. The recipes are delicious. My five year old loves them and so do my husband and I. We are trying to eat real food and still maintain a healthy weight. This book is a great help!

This book contains plenty of tasty treats to help you cut back on your childs sugar consumption. They will be eating healthy without even knowing it and build good eating habits for a lifetime.
