Visit the Truvia® website for more tips and information on Truvia® Baking BlendThe holidays are here and that means time for baking lots of goodies!  Cakes, pies, cookies, and all of the things that make these special times sweeter.  If  you want to be able to indulge in delicious desserts but still cut back on sugar, let me recommend Truvia® Baking Blend.  Truvia® Baking Blend comes in pourable 1.5 pound bags and is a blend of Truvia and sugar.  It gives you that genuine sugar taste and texture for all of your recipes but has 75% fewer calories and twice the amount of sweetness as sugar.  One 1.5 lb. bag is the equivalent of a 3 lb. bag of sugar. 

I want to share with you a recipe for making a delicious pumpkin pie using Truvia® Baking Blend.  The pie still bakes up yummy with the same moist texture but this one has 2/3 less sugar than one using regular sugar.  This can be your little secret!  Try it and see if your family can tell the difference.  They can enjoy a mouth-watering, home baked treat and you’ll know you’re helping them reduce their sugar intake!
