Please avoid sucanat and evaporated cane juice. These are just sugars all over again. Use brown rice syrup, barley malt, and occasionally maple syrup. An excellent book with recipes is The Sweet and Natural Cookbook by Meredith McCarty. You can substitute brown rice syrup in place of anything in her book that may call for maple syrup even, or she occasionally uses other sweeteners. But she wrote that book with vegans in mind, and macros. This book won The Good Housekeeping Award. Easy on the spices!
