How is this recipe sugar-free? 

It can be extremely hard to make any sweet recipe sugar-free and still have it tasting like an indulgent dessert or treat. However, I have a secret for you and it’s Lakanto’s Sweeteners. Lakanto makes sugar substitutes that taste as good as the real thing. Their sweetener has zero calories, no carbs, and is zero-glycemic. It’s perfect for baking, and what’s awesome is it’s a 1:1 sugar replacement, meaning you don’t have to try and figure out how much to put in. For this recipe I used two of their sugars: the Classic which is a white sugar substitute, and the Golden which is a raw sugar substitute.
