I made this wonderful Lightened-Up Blueberry Coffee Cake using SPLENDA® Brand Sweetener as a part of a sponsored post for SocialStars #SplendaSweeties #SweetSwaps.

Lightened-Up Blueberry Coffee Cake allows you to have something sweet with your morning cup of coffee without the guilt. Made with unsweetened applesauce, low-fat milk, SPLENDA® Brown Sugar Blend, and fresh blueberries, it is a satisfying treat that is easy on the waistline.

Fresh blueberries provide pockets of sweet and tart flavor, while a walnut streusel adds a little crunch. You can use almonds or pecans instead of walnuts or leave the nuts out altogether.

A touch of cinnamon in the batter and streusel adds that quintessential coffee cake flavor. A slice of Lightened-Up Blueberry Coffee is a delicious way to start the day with either a glass of milk or a cup of coffee. It is good warm from the oven or at room temperature.

Using SPLENDA® Brown Sugar Blendgives all the flavor of brown sugar to baked goods, but it has twice the sweetness of brown sugar so you only need to use half as much. A 1 bag of SPLENDA® Brown Sugar Blend has the sweetness of 2 pounds of brown sugar. In a recipe that calls for 1 cup of brown sugar, you only need to use 1/2 cup of SPLENDA® Brown Sugar Blend.

SPLENDA® Brown Sugar Blend gives baked goods a similar texture, moistness, and flavor to using brown sugar.

SPLENDA® Brand Sweeteners are versatile and can be used in a variety of recipes including baked goods, appetizers, and beverages. Pretty much any where you want to add some sweetness, SPLENDA® Brand Sweetener can be used.

The Sweet Swaps program is dishing out hundreds of ways to save calories by swapping full sugar for SPLENDA® Brand Sweeteners.
