amazing how often you can reduce the sugar in dessert recipes by 25-50% without negatively affecting the end product. i just do it by default now. today i made carrot cake muffins and ended up halving the sugar called for by the recipe, and the end result still tastes sweet and dessert-y.

#i think recipes on the english internet are dominated by americans and the broad american palate is oversaturated with sweetness #like once you reduce your added sugar intake (and dont replace with artificial sweeteners) and allow time to adjust #you suddenly realize how overly sweet so much of our food is #like im not advocating people never eat sugar i just mean the amount used in food is just unnecessary #these muffins went from 20g to 10g of sugar each and like 10g is still plenty sweet tasting!!
