Editor's note: Good news! Since publishing this post, we've introduced our Baking Sugar Alternative, a 1-to-1 substitute for granulated sugar designed specifically for baking success.

I know all you die hard sugar fans are still skeptical, but I can honestly say, having been a skeptic myself, that this is definitely a substitution worth trying. Your skinny jeans will love you for it, trust me!
