    Raspberry Oatmeal Crumble Bars - Andrea Meyers

    It’s the middle of January, and how are you doing on that resolution to get healthy and drop those holiday indulgence pounds? It’s hard to stick with it, believe me I know. I can keep up my exercise goals, but staying away from sweets is the most difficult part for me, especially after a month of celebration meals and all the delicious cookies, pies, and other treats that come with that time of year. After the holidays I have to get zealous about reducing calories, and in addition to going on a vegetable binge, I use Truvia® in things that I would typically sweeten with sugar, such as tea, coffee, lemonade, and yes even baked goods like these Raspberry Oatmeal Crumble Bars, which my guys adore.

    It’s easy to use Truvia® Natural Sweetener in your beverages and savory dishes, just check out their conversion chart which explains how much to use in place of sugar in your favorite recipes.

    Cutting sugar in baked goods is a little different because it’s not just about taste, but also about volume and ratios, and I’ve found the Truvia® Baking Blend works well in many of the things I bake. The product is a mix of stevia powder from the stevia plant, erythritol (a natural sugar alcohol derived from fruits), and sugar. On a sweetness scale, ½ cup of Truvia® Baking Blend is the equivalent of 1 cup of sugar, but with only 190 calories versus 760. That’s a huge difference.

    Because I use and like their products, I have partnered with Truvia® this January to help my readers stay committed to your health goals. From January 9th to January 31st, 2014, you can take the #StayTRU pledge to stick to your resolutions. And for taking the pledge, you will receive a Truvia® coupon and be entered to win a number of great prizes such as an AMEX gift card, $500 toward a Personal Trainer, and a Pampering SpaFinder Gift Card. Visit their Facebook page and enter the Truvia® Stay TRU to YOU Sweepstakes for a chance to win. You can also go to their website to request a free sample of Truvia®.

    Recipe Notes

    Raspberries are not in season here, but I use frozen raspberries, and they work very well. I like to add a little vanilla extract to the fruit mixture for a little more depth of flavor, but it’s not in the original recipe. Depending on the tartness of your raspberries, you may want use a little more or less Truvía® Baking Blend with the fruit. The crumble has oatmeal, and to get even more whole grains, I use part whole wheat flour and part all-purpose flour.

      I love the idea of eating healthier, and I've been working on cutting down on my sugar and sodium intake. I only wish that there was a nutritional value guide for the recipes.
