Desserts with no added sugar: sweetened with fruit only

At SmarTasty, no added sugar is a strict rule: no table sugar, no honey, no maple syrup and no coconut sugar. The sweetness in these desserts comes from fruit alone – ripe bananas, dates, apples and berries – with cinnamon, vanilla, nut butter or coconut alongside. That gives you nice cream (frozen banana ice cream), coconut panna cotta, banana bread, muffins and no-bake desserts. Keep in mind that fruit contains sugar too – here, no added sugar means nothing added to sweeten, not carb-free.

Frequently asked questions

What are desserts with no added sugar sweetened with?

Only fruit: ripe bananas, dates, apples or berries. Spices such as cinnamon and vanilla, plus nut butter, make them taste sweeter without any added sugar.

Are desserts with no added sugar low in calories?

Not automatically. Nuts, nut butter, coconut and dates all bring energy. The nutrition per serving is on every recipe, so you can pick desserts that fit your daily needs.

Why don't honey and maple syrup count here?

Because they're mostly sugar too: largely glucose, fructose and sucrose. So on this page, only desserts with nothing added to sweeten them count.
