    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. For the strawberries:
      In a small bowl, add strawberries, 1/4 cup sweetener, and lemon juice. Stir together and set aside for 10 minutes.

    2. For the filling:
      Add cream cheese and 1/2 cup sweetener to a bowl. Beat together until fluffy.

    3. For the French toast: 
      In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, vanilla extract, 1/4 cup sweetener, cinnamon, and salt.

    4. To assemble, spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture on a slice of bread, keeping about 1/2 inch away from the edge. Add a layer of strawberry slices on top of the cream cheese. Take another piece of bread and spread cream cheese on it. Place it on the strawberries, cream cheese side down. Repeat for the rest, making 6 total strawberry-cream cheese sandwiches.

    5. Spray a nonstick skillet with butter-flavored cooking spray, and heat to medium. Dip one sandwich into egg mixture and turn evenly to coat. Remove and shake off the excess custard mixture, then transfer to the hot skillet.

    6. Cook 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Spray skillet again and repeat for the rest of the French toast sandwiches.

    7. Slice each diagonally and serve immediately! If desired, top with a sugar-free maple syrup and more fresh strawberries. Enjoy!

  • Grilled ”Honey” BBQ Chicken

    Grilled ”Honey” BBQ Chicken

    How to Make Grilled ”Honey” BBQ Chicken

    This recipe delivers all the sweet, smoky goodness of classic BBQ, but sweetened with a delicious homemade sauce bursting with savory spices and a touch of “honey” sweetness thanks to Splenda® Multi-Use Syrup. Enjoy the taste you love without the added sugar. Ready to sizzle? Try the recipe now and impress your taste buds (and health goals)!

    Cooking notes:

    • To get moist and juicy chicken, try to turn it as few times as possible. Most importantly, do not to overcook!
    • Only apply BBQ sauce after chicken is partially cooked. Otherwise, the sauce could burn if cooked for too long.
    • Brush sauce liberally to get well-coated chicken breast.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. For the “Honey” BBQ Sauce, add all ingredients to a saucepan and stir together. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer for 10 minutes, until sauce becomes thickened. Pour into a bowl to use for brushing on the chicken while it is grilling. Reserve a few tablespoons to drizzle on chicken after it’s been cooked.

    2. For the chicken, prepare the grill by brushing grates clean, spraying with a grill-safe nonstick cooking spray (or brush them carefully with a little oil), and heat grill to 400-450°F.

    3. Place chicken on a platter and drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides.

    4. Place each chicken breast on the hot grill, close the top and let cook for about 5 minutes, until they easily release from the grill grates. Then flip chicken, cooking about 5 more minutes on the other side. Brush chicken liberally with the BBQ sauce every couple of minutes. Flip chicken once again, brushing the opposite side with the sauce liberally as well.

    5. Cook until the chicken breasts register an internal temperature of 160°F (they will reach the appropriate 165°F during carry-over cooking time). Be sure not to overcook so you have tender, juicy chicken. Remove from grill, add to platter and cover with foil. Let chicken rest 5 minutes to redistribute juices. Serve with reserved BBQ sauce and enjoy.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Preheat oven to 375°F and prepare two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

    2. In a small bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, and baking powder and set aside.

    Print Recipe >

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

    2. Slice each tofu block in half along the long side. Place on the baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tsp oil. Bake for 15 minutes, flip, then bake for another 15 minutes.

    3. Meanwhile, peel the tough skin from the squash. Use a julienne peeler to cut noodles from the squash.

    4. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tsp oil, squash, and ¼ tsp Italian seasoning. Cook, stirring occasionally, until squash noodles are tender, 7–8 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and set aside. 

    5. Combine the Parmesan, mayo, 1/4 tsp Italian seasoning, onion powder, and garlic powder in a small bowl.

    6. After the tofu has baked for 30 minutes, remove from the oven. Set the oven to broil on high and move an oven rack to the top shelf, underneath the broiler.

    7. Spread the cheese mixture over the tops of the tofu. Return to the oven and broil until the topping is bubbly and beginning to brown, 1–2 minutes.

    8. Serve on a bed of squash noodles with a handful of fresh basil.

    1 slice & 1 tbsp. pumpkin butter

    Print Recipe >

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Make the pumpkin butter:
      A. In a small saucepan combine the pumpkin purée, apple cider, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp salt, and apple cider vinegar. Heat over medium while stirring often.
      B. Once the mixture is bubbling, lower the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides until the mixture has darkened in color and the canned pumpkin flavor has cooked off, about 30 minutes.
      C. Remove the pumpkin butter from heat and stir in the pumpkin spice sweet drops. The pumpkin butter can be made ahead of time and will keep in the fridge for 7–10 days.

    2. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place a 10” cast iron pan in the preheating oven.

    3. In a small bowl mix the whole wheat flour, coconut sugar, nutmeg, cardamom, cinnamon, and salt.

    4. Put the eggs into a blender and blend on low for a minute, until smooth and frothy. Add the milk and one tablespoon of the butter and blend until combined.

    5. Add the flour mixture and blend on low until just combined. If you don’t have a blender, the batter may be mixed by hand.

    6. Place the remaining tablespoon of butter in the preheated cast iron pan. Swirl the butter around until it has completely melted and coated the pan. Pour the batter into the pan, return the pan to the oven, and bake for 20 minutes.

    7. Remove the pancake from the oven, slice into wedges, and serve immediately. Top each slice with a spoonful of the pumpkin butter, a scoop of the walnuts, and a light dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or use silicone baking mats.
    2. In a medium bowl, stir together the oats, flour, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
    3. Add the applesauce, dried apricots, maple syrup, butter, and oil to a blender. Cover and blend until well combined. Add the egg and vanilla extract and blend until puréed like a smoothie. Pour the batter into the dry mixture in the medium bowl and stir until well combined. Note: The batter will seem slightly loose (runny).
    4. Drop 7 cookies on each baking sheet, about 2 well-rounded measuring tablespoons each. Bake until browned on the bottom, about 25 minutes.
    5. Remove cookies from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheets on racks. Store the soft-chew cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
