Low Cal Cooking and Baking with Splenda
The different foods and beverages that Americans typically consume contain an overwhelming amount of sugars. It is often argued that these sugars are not essential to our bodies, and in many cases provide little benefit. Some experts believe this is one reason why obesity in children and diabetes in both children and adults is on the rise.
Too much sugar can also be bad for the teeth as well, causing cavities and decay. Yet many individuals eat as many sugary foods and beverages with as we can. Why do we do this? Because sugar tastes sweet and our diets have conditioned us to crave a sweet taste. Cutting out sweets because it would be a healthier choice is not a reason enough to give up sugar for most of us. Even some people with diabetes or weight issues, who have to watch their sugar intake a lot closer, fall into having sweets they should not have, because sugary foods are enticing to the taste buds and stomach..
Splenda is a sugar-alternative that has the sweetness of sugar because the processing of it begins using pure sugar. That is how Splenda gets the sweetness of sugar and ends without the calories and insulin-raising affects of pure sugar. Splenda can help you and your family to eat healthier without having to sacrifice the sweet taste from foods that you and your family love. Splenda also permits diabetics and those watching their weight to have sweet-tasting foods while reducing their sugar and calorie intake. Splenda offers an easier way for you to cook and bake Lo-Cal meals and snacks for your family.
It is not hard at all to transform your family’s favorite meals and snacks into great-tasting, healthier versions of themselves. Breads, cookies, glazes, pies, muffins, and sauces that generally call for sugar for its sweetness effect, are best transformed into healthy alternatives you and your family will enjoy using Splenda granules. For chewier cookies, it may be better to use Splenda blend instead of the granules to make chunkier cookies. If the sugar is more for providing substance to hold all the ingredients together in a recipe than for its sweetness, a blend of sugar and Splenda with a ratio of 25 to 30 percent of Splenda to the amount of sugar needed, will work best in these recipes. You will still be cutting calories and making healthier foods for you and your family.
You may have to use different cooking and baking pans (usually a little smaller) with certain recipes than you had to before to obtain the same consistency as with the old versions of those recipes. Printed right on Splenda packages are recipes to help you in cooking and baking with Splenda. If the recipe you want to prepare is not on the package, hop online and search for a version of that recipe that uses Splenda.
Are you concerned that your family will notice the change from pure sugar to Splenda and not give your healthier baking and cooking a chance? Try substituting ½ to 1 cup of Splenda in a pie or cookie recipe calling for 2 cups of sugar. This will at least give your family more of the sugar taste they still crave while cutting calories they are consuming by a third. Once they realize that there is no bitter aftertaste in foods cooked and baked using Splenda unlike many of those other sugar alternatives, they will be more likely to try recipes using Splenda in the future. You can slowly wean them off pure sugar and before long; they will not be missing the sugar-laden meals and snacks they used to eat at all.
The website provided by Splenda is an excellent resource for learning about how to use this sugar substitute in recipes for better health for both you and your family. On the site, you will find baking and cooking tips, educational resources for coping with diabetes, a store to purchase items to help make your Lo-Cal baking and cooking with Splenda even easier, and a whole lot of other useful information.

What are the baking times when using a silicone banking pan?
How do I know how to adjust baking times when using a silicone Baking Pan? The times and temps on the cake mix doesnt talk about silicone. I want to make an equivilant of a 9 inch Cake Pan.
About the same I believe, still.. after so long, poke it with a toothpick or piece of spaghetti.
If it comes out clean (aka, without batter on it) then it's done.
