As Rosh Hashanah approaches, it’s the perfect time to think about how to bring sweetness into the New Year—without compromising your health goals. This year, why not bake your favorite holiday treats using allulose, a natural sugar alternative that delivers all the flavor with a fraction of the calories? Allulose is an all-natural sugar substitute sweetener derived from non-GMO corn, making it an excellent choice for those who want to enjoy traditional Rosh Hashanah desserts with less guilt.

Fun fact: Allulose caramelizes just like regular sugar, making it ideal for sauces and glazes!

Allulose is safe for diabetics and can help manage blood sugar levels. Unlike sugar alcohols, allulose is also safe for people with gestational diabetes.

We’ve gathered a selection of delectable baked goods that feature Health Garden’s Allulose as a key ingredient. From Paula Shoyer’s crispy Almond Biscotti and indulgent Double Chocolate Babka to Faigy Murray’s lighter Apple Pie Bars and Beth Warren’s tender Apple Cookies, these recipes offer the perfect balance of tradition and health-consciousness. Each bite promises the rich, comforting flavors of the holiday season, but with the benefit of lower sugar content, so you can indulge without hesitation.

Whether you’re baking for your family, guests, or just yourself, these allulose-sweetened treats are sure to make your Rosh Hashanah both sweet and satisfying. Celebrate the New Year with a healthier twist on your favorite baked goods!
