Other than artificial sweeteners (which are disgusting and bad for your body) good sugar substitutions are natural honey and natural molassess.

Natural sweeteners include corn sweeteners, sucrose processed from cane and beet sugars, or fructose

Sweeteners are products that act as substitute to sugar and can provide quick energy and a concentrated source of calories just like sugar.

I am not really sure of any recipes which are good to use. But, you can consider simple subsittutes, such as sweeteners rather than sugar, and natural sweeteners like honey.

Sugar and honey are the most well known natural sweeteners. However, others include agave nectar, maple syrup, sorghum syrup, birch syrup, palm sugar, Sugar Pine resin, Yacon syrup, sweet cicerly root, licorice root, barley malt syrup, brown rice malt syrup, pomegranite molasses, watermelon sugar, date sugar, and Pekmez.
