In yesterday’s post, I wrote my love letter to sugar.
But I’ve become a fan of stevia too. I don’t use much, but just a little now and then can really jazz up a dish. And it doesn’t seem to give me that awful crash-and-burn feeling I get from too much sugar .

Other ways to enjoy stevia:

Make a warm batch of Snickerdoodle cookies Snickerdoodle Oatmeal
And it works well in any of the following, too:
From the top:
Unlike some of the other brands on the market, NuNaturals stevia powder isn’t cut down with erythritol. (Truvia and PureVia contain more erythritol than actual stevia.) Therefore, you end up needing quite a bit less powder to achieve the same amount of sweetness. Also–and judging by the comments in my previous two posts, others seem to agree with me–I don’t think NuNaturals stevia has a strange aftertaste. And now Ron, of Nunaturals, introduced me to another fun find I never would’ve picked up on my own:
Alcohol-free Vanilla Stevia Drops
The price is deceptive, because with these drops, a little goes a long way. If you can find them, I very much recommend buying a bottle.
Oh, I know what you mean. I’ve boughten NuNaturals now 5 times since being sent samples. I also got suckered in to a full size Walnut Butter after my 2 scoop sampler from Artisana was gone. Those people are good at what they do
S’More Muffins? Holy yum! I’m soooo printing off the recipe as soon as I hit ‘submit comment’ !!! 😀
Yum to all the tasty looking pictures. I like stevia too, but I don’t know that I can find it here.
your s’more muffin just made me shed a single tear drop… it’s a thing of beauty right thuur. 🙂
I have heard such great things about that brand, I have to try them.
I need to jump on the stevia bandwagon.. Ive never even tried it!!
Can I please eat your Snickerdoodle oatmeal?!?! YUMMM.
Happy Friday, Miss Katie 🙂
I LOVE nunatural products and they are so easy to bake with. I will have to agree that my wallet would be in such better shape if I have not been introduced to POM, PB and Co, Barney Butter, and other great products. The life of living healthy.
NuNaturals kindly sent me some NuStevia products to try and I agree with you! I have NEVER liked stevia. I tried, I REALLY tried, but blech – it was always too bitter. But, their NuStevia is not bitter at all. I love the convenience of the packets, too. A little does go a long way!!
Now, I have to try some of your amazing looking creations with it!!
I use Sun Crystals in my coffee (mix of stevia and sugar) but from everything I hear I’d love to try some NuNaturals too since it sounds like a winner.
The NuNaturals sound like they would be a great addition to many dishes. I’ll have to keep an eye out for them. Your pictures are making me want oatmeal.
