Healthy baking: what matters

Baking and healthy eating are not opposites. With less sugar, ground nuts, quark or coconut flour you get moist cakes and pastries that taste great and keep you fuller than classic baked goods.

Many recipes in this category are low carb, gluten-free or low in sugar, with honest nutrition facts for every recipe.

Baking: frequently asked questions

How do I bake with less sugar?

Ripe fruit, a little erythritol or stevia and spices like cinnamon add sweetness without much sugar. In many recipes you can cut sugar considerably without losing flavour.

Which flours work for low carb baking?

Ground almonds, coconut flour and ground nuts are popular low carb alternatives to wheat flour and keep baked goods moist.

Are the recipes gluten-free?

Many baking recipes here skip wheat flour entirely and are therefore gluten-free. Check the labels on each recipe.
