What is coconut sugar?
The sweetener used in this recipe is coconut sugar. It is one of my favorite alternatives to regular white sugar. Coconut sugar can be subbed in any recipe for a 1:1 ratio, so it makes it super simple to swap!
Coconut sugar is also a low-glycemic sweetener, which means that it has a lower effect on blood sugar levels. It is also a natural sweetener and is minimally processed. Coconut sugar is made from the sap of the coconut palm trees and then evaporated to create the crystal form.
