Notes
How to make paleo powdered sugar:
- Add 1/2 cup paleo friendly sugar of choice (maple sugar, coconut sugar or date sugar) to a high-speed blender.
- Blend on high until it has a powder-like texture, 2-3 minutes.
- If you’d like it more ‘powder-like’, add 1/2 tablespoon tapioca starch or arrowroot starch to the blender at the beginning. This really helps to get it to be similar to regular powdered sugar.
- Store left over sugar in a jar for another use.
