    1. While any sweetener will work, my personal favorites are either a light maple syrup, which I like not only for flavor but also because it doesn’t spike blood sugar and it also has a number of nutrients, or a very light honey as honey also contains nutrients.

I was given a small bottle of Rain’s Choice in a gift basket and I have been hooked ever since. The flavor makes all of my baking so much better! I will never use grocery store vanilla again!
