Every now and then we need to find a good recipe for a Sugar Free Glaze Recipe for Baked Goods.
I am just happy that there is a way to actually do this as well!
Sugar Free Glaze Recipe for Baked Goods
This is a recipe that I refer to quite often in other recipes that I post.
Certainly, just because we have given up sugar doesn’t mean that we can’t have our glaze as a result. Am I right?
The one thing that I do not like about regular sugar glaze is all of the sugar that is in it.
Sometimes, there is so much sugar glaze on something that it actually ruins that has been glazed. This makes me wonder what all of that sugar is doing to my body. Consequently, I have trouble finishing what ever it was that I was eating that was glazed.
This is an easy recipe to make.
It only takes four ingredients to make this. You will need a granular sugar free alternative such as Splenda. Also, you will need some cornstarch. As an alternative to these two ingredients you can use sugar free confectioners sugar instead.
Here are some similar recipes that you can use your glaze with.

That glaze is made from powdered sugar. This recipe incorporates the powdered sugar recipe in creating a sugar free sugar glaze alternative.

Great sugar-free recipes

Thank you!!!! 🙂

Tried making this and it did NOT form a glaze, it just formed a rock hard blob.
VERY disappointing!
SFD says
Hi. While it should harden somewhat, it should not be ‘rock hard’. I would add a bit more water and try blending it in. This recipe works well for me but, I could easily add some more liquid to it to soften it up at times. thanks

I used Equal sweetener just because I had some I wanted to use up. My glaze was needed for dipping SF Apple Fritters so I added a touch more milk. It was perfect. Thanks!
SFD says
That is good to hear! Your fritters sound really good too 🙂
Debbie says
