What would Valentine’s Day be without some sweetness? February 14th is set aside for expressing love, appreciation, and embracing the sweeter side of life. And who is better to show some sweetness to than to…well…you? Take a moment to gift yourself with love and self-appreciation by treating yourself to something decadent. That’s right, it’s time to #SweetYourself with a bit of heavenly goodness!
This Valentine’s Day we plan to treat ourselves with homemade Red Velvet Cupcakes. The best part of the delicious treat is we can enjoy each bite without a large amount of dieter’s guilt! Even though Red Velvet Cupcakes sound awfully sinful, we reduce the calories by replacing some of the sugar called for in the recipe with Stevia In The Raw®.
Baking with Stevia In The Raw®
Did you know the average American consumes about 22 teaspoons of sugar a day? That is a lot of sugar! According to doctors, cutting down excess sugar can help lower your risk of diabetes, obesity, and heart disease. One way to lower sugar consumption is to replace it with Stevia In The Raw®. The zero-calorie sweetener, is perfect for any baking and cooking needs. Up to 700 calories are saved for every cup of sugar that is replaced with Stevia In The Raw® Bakers Bag. It’s easy to use too! There is no trying to configure how much to measure. Stevia In The Raw® Bakers Bag measures cup for cup with sugar, so it can easily be used in recipes to reduce sugar and calories with no conversion necessary. Stevia In The Raw® Bakers Bag is formulated so that 1 cup has the same sweetness as 1 cup of Sugar.

*A slight adjustment to the Red Velvet Cupcakes. It says to use heart shaped silicone cups, but I just used a normal muffin tin with cupcake paper-liners. So, if you don’t have the silicone baking cups and still want to try the recipe—normal muffin tins work fine. The baking time was 13 minutes. Using the muffin tin only yields 20 cupcakes instead of the 24.
