Bonus points for vegan, wheat and sweet sugar alternatives!

    tnx. I'm sticking to stevia for now, I guess. It's the one that lowers the blood sugar.

    Uhane, I was unsure if the mention of caster sugar in Rach91's comment had confused you. If so, it is what you may possibly know as 'superfine' sugar.

    castor sugar, eh? I will investigate. thanks

  • Ok I’ve got one I’ve got a vegan cookery book from a music festival please excuse the name the recipes in the book were a bit rude lol.

    lemon f…y flap cake. 
    water or vegan milk I would recommend almond milk, flour, caster sugar, lemon juice and for extra flavour vanilla essence. 
    I think that’s the recipe I’m not a 100% sure tho I don’t have the book on hand right now but if you want the proper recipe and the measurements let me know and I’ll find the book.

    many thanks. Ginger is another fav! Recipe looks easy.

    What would you suggest for sugar and wheat alternatives? Xylotol is nice but pricey . Stevia the same. Limited diet, me.

  • I make sparkled ginger cookies frequently-they are soo nice and they're vegan.

    I got the recipe from this site-gives ingredients required-and baking instructions. They taste amazing when done! Stuck out tongue

  • I like chocolate. And those little french lemon merangue finger cookies we used to call "Flying saucers".

    The thing I work on the hardest is the flour. I have tries lots of alternatives to wheat wich I can't digest.

    They keep coming up with new ones . My most successful alternative, for chocolate is oat flour. for other things it's just too gooey. There is a casaba flour I want to try...

    wow I bet it did! They say they have found honey from 2000 years ago in sealed jars in caves and it was still good! cool! I can do that thanks. I've been using stevia.

  • I made cookies from raw honey instead of sugar. I put the cookies into a ziplock bag and placed them in the fridge, expecting them to get condensation and eventually spoil in a week, but that never happened. The cookies stayed good for weeks,  which surprised me. The cookie was about 60% honey, and honey has some kind of antibacterial property, and maybe that preserved the cookie. But honey isn't exactly vegan. 

    Maybe I'll try making cookies from maple syrup sometime, although I don't think it'll be as sweet. I bought maple syrup sugar to try it, just to sprinkle on top of things, but it's not as sweet as regular sugar, and a lot more expensive. 

  • Nope, the only biscuits I really like are Lidl's plain chocolate digestives. I don't really have a sweet tooth, although I will risk the feeling of my teeth disolving for a slice of treacle tart!
