Hi there, Ameera here!

We made our first Whole Food Plant Based Powdered Sugar back in January 2018 with our Rustic Carrot Cake recipe.  We get questions all the time asking us where it is because they can’t easily find it, so we decided that we needed to make a separate blog post for it instead of tucking it in other recipes.

You gotta give this one a try!

Tips for Success:

• Flavor Profile: Traditional powdered sugar is made by combining granulated sugar with cornstarch and blending it in a high-speed blender until light and airy.  This is a Whole Food Plant Based version which combines date or maple sugar (or coconut sugar) with cornstarch or arrowroot powder.
• One-to-One Ratio: This recipe is highly customizable.  It is a one-to-one ratio of sugar to cornstarch.
• Maple Sugar (dry) and Date Sugar (dry): Maple sugar and date sugar are not as sweet as granulated sugar.  This recipe is not going to taste as sweet as traditional powdered sugar. It will work perfectly as a substitution for most of your dry powdered sugar needs. If your diet permits, coconut sugar works well too.
• Sweetness:  Since this powdered sugar is not as sweet as traditional powdered sugar, if needed, you can increase the amount of dry sugar as needed.
• Color of the Powdered Sugar: Based upon the color of the sugar you use in this recipe, the end-product color of your WFPB powdered sugar may be influenced accordingly.  In other words, it may not be super white.
• Other Recipes Using Whole Food Plant Based Powdered Sugar:
  • Rustic Carrot Cake
  • Vegan Pumpkin Pie Crumble
  • Old Fashioned Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
  • Healthy Vegan Pumpkin Muffins
  • Chocolate Pancakes
  • Carrot Cake Oatmeal Breakfast Bake
  • Healthy Vegan Russian Tea Cakes (Snowball Cookies) 

Leftovers and Freezing:

Use the date parameters assigned on your sugar and cornstarch labels.
