Dark chocolate is a baking staple loved for its rich, bittersweet flavour. But for those looking to cut back on chocolate, here are ten tasty substitutes to consider:
The pure, concentrated chocolate flavour of unsweetened cocoa powder makes it a direct substitute.
With their sweet, earthy taste, carob chips mimic the flavour of chocolate.
Cacao nibs are small pieces of crushed cacao bran and have a crunchy texture with a slightly bitter taste.
Non-dairy chocolate chips flavoured with cocoa butter offer the taste of chocolate.
Combine cocoa powder with melted coconut oil to create a chocolatey paste.
Almond butter adds a rich and nutty flavour to baked goods.
Date paste is made by blending dates with water until smooth.
Chopped prunes mixed into batters and doughs add a chewy texture and mild chocolate-like sweetness.
Brewed coffee enhances chocolate flavors in recipes without overpowering them.
Sticky, bittersweet molasses lend hints of gingerbread and spice that pair well with chocolate.
