Hey friends!
A few weeks back I received an awesome package from the nice people over at NuNaturals.
Isn’t that awesome! I was so excited to open the box and find all this fabulous, healthy goodness! Not only did I recieve new products to cook and bake with but a whole collection of healthy recipes to try!
I recieved:
- NuNaturals White Stevia Powder Packets
- NuNaturals MoreFiber Stevia Baking Blend
- NuStevia Pure White Stevia Extract
- NuNaturals Cocoa Bean Extract
- NuNaturals Alcohol Free Stevia
- NuNaturals Vanilla Stevia
- NuNaturals NuStevia Quick Dissolve Tabs
- NuNaturals Pure Liquid Clear Stevia
Isn’t that awesome?!
Benefits of using Stevia rather than refined sugars are numerous and here are just a few:
NuNaturals Stevia products are a delicious alternative to sugars and carbohydrates with zero calories, non bitter taste, and will not effect blood sugar levels. This is an awesome product for anyone on a diet or with a sensitivity to sugars. NuNaturals are 100% natural and don’t contain any of the scary fillers we often see in “diet” products. No aspartame, Saccharin, sucralose, high fructose corn syrup, sugar, or any artificial colors. The best part about NuNaturals stevia? You will find that you use less stevia (because of it’s sweetness) than sugar thus saving you money!
NuNaturals stevia products are all gluten free (which I love) as well as soy free, yeast free, wheat free, milk free, no synthetics, and no artificial flavors or preservatives.
So far I’ve given the Love Muffins a try and added my own little twist!
Gluten Free Apple Cinnamon Love Muffins
Ingredients:
1 3/4 C brown rice flour
2 tsp baking powder
4 packets NuNaturals NuStevia white stevia powder
1 egg white
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
4 tsp unsweetened applesauce
1 c almond milk (or any other non dairy milk)
2 cups of grated apple (around 1-1/2 apples)
Method (makes about 10 muffins)
Preheat oven to 380 degrees. Spray muffin cups with non stick spray and place in muffin tin. Combine all the dry ingredients. Combine all the wet ingredients and add to the dry. Be careful not to over mix:) Scoop muffin batter in to cups and cook 8-10 min, or until puffed up. Take out of oven when they are still a little gooey because they will continue to cook while cooling.
They turned out great! I love muffins and especially when they are guilt free:)
Peanut Butter Carob Cookies (originally from Katie @ makingfoodandotherstuff)
Ingredients:
2 Tbl all natural peanut butter
1/4 C brown rice flour
1/8-1/4 C NuNaturals NuStevia Baking Blend
1 Tbl Carob powder ( or cocoa)
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp baking powder
1 egg white
Method: (makes about 6 cookies)
Place all ingredients in a medium size bowl and mix. Scoop small balls onto greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 min.
Mmmm these were very tasty! The consistency of the peanut butter and the taste of carob was perfection!
Those are just a few of the recipes I’ve tried with the NuNaturals supplies. I will continue to post more so that you can learn to enjoy NuNaturals as well!

October 13, 2011 at 3:35 amThanks so much for dropping by my blog! I love yours! 🙂 I’ve only tried stevia once and it tasted of alcohol to me, so I wasn’t a big fan. I haven’t tried nunaturals yet, and I want to! Hope you’re having an awesome night!

May 13, 2012 at 8:53 amHi. I tried the recipe for the brown rice apple muffins and they never cooked properly. Any thoughts? The only thing I changed was ommit the applesauce and did not have quite 2 cups of shredded apples but almost. Other then that I followed the recipe o the tee.

May 13, 2012 at 4:43 pmHey there!! The muffin may need the moist applesauce to hold it together… You may be able to use a mashed banana in place of the apple sauce. Let me know if it gets any better:)
