**I received a variety of products from NuNaturals to try. I was under no obligation to do a review. Any opinions expressed are my own**
It’s that time of year. The time of year where we have treats, feasts, and confections everywhere. Most of us will indulge a little (or maybe a lot) and regret it later. Yet for me, it just doesn’t seem like Christmas if there isn’t holiday cookies in the oven, or the kids aren’t helping me bake. This year we’re trying something different. No we’re not giving up the cookies, we’re giving up the sugar. I know what you’re thinking, what’s the point of cookies without sugar? Well we’re using a great sugar substitute for NuNaturals.
NuNaturals has everything you need to make your holiday baking sugar free and healthier with things like fiber and yummy flavors. I received a plethora of product from NuNaturals to try. For me to review everything I received in one post, I just didn’t think it would do it justice. There were so many things with so many different ideas. NuNaturals also has lots of recipes to try on their site if you’re not quite sure how to use the products or you just want ideas.
Some of the products I received included oat fiber and NuStevia baking blend.
I’m already a fan of the NuStevia MoreFiber Sweetener Baking Blend but had never tried the NuNaturals NuGrains Oat Fiber. The Oat Fiber lets you add fiber to any of your holiday baking from cookies, to cakes, to rolls. Simply add in 3 tablespoons of oat fiber for every 8 servings. So if your recipe makes 24 cookies and a serving size is 3 cookies then you need 3 tablespoons of oat fiber. The NuStevia baking blend is a great substitute for the sugar in your recipes.
I tried the Chocolate Chip Pan Cookies recipe on the NuNaturals site. I’ll be honest, to me the recipe seemed like it was missing something like maybe milk or water because the bars turned out very dry and crumbly. BUT, they still tasted good. My 4 year old just loved these. Every day he’d say “mommy can I have a cookie” and I’d give him a little bar with some milk. Even my oldest son who is a bit picky had a couple of these bars.
I used holiday chocolate chips. Even if this recipe just isn’t your cup of tea, there’s lots of other recipes on the site for cookies, pies, cakes, breads, and more for your holiday spread.
NuNaturals ships free to the continental US with orders of $35 or more. I’ll have more NuNaturals ideas throughout the holiday guide so stop by again.

I’m gonna give this a try. I am always looking for ways to lighten our foods up, so thank you for sharing. I can’t wait to see what my hubby & kids think of the foods I make with it.
