Paleo Powdered Sugar Substitute: Ingredients and Substitutions
Here are some possible substitutions in this paleo powdered sugar substitute recipe. Remember, the color and texture will vary depending on the sugar you choose. Coconut sugar is my favorite unrefined granulated option, but maple sugar and organic cane sugar are great too.
Coconut sugar. Any other granulated sugar can be used in place of coconut sugar (e.g. date sugar, organic cane sugar, raw sugar, maple sugar, etc). Just be sure to choose a variety that complies with your dietary needs. Tapioca flour. Cornstarch or arrowroot powder can be used in place of tapioca flour.
How to Make Homemade Powdered Sugar Substitute!
You only need three things to make this Paleo Powdered Sugar recipe. It’s so easy too! Don’t forget to watch the video. Begin by putting the ingredients in the container of a Vitamix. Another high-powered blender would work, but I don’t recommend a food processor or a low-quality blender, because they don’t have enough power to make this Powdered Sugar Substitute recipe. Next, blend on high speed for 30-60 seconds, or until your mixture is fluffy and has the consistency of powdered sugar. Let it settle for at least 30 seconds before removing the top, otherwise you run the risk of inhaling a cloud of powdered sugary fumes.
Serve
Remove from your Vitamix and use in your favorite recipes or sprinkle it on top of brownies (or brownies).
