Although the only actual solution is to wean yourself off sweets altogether (at least to a degree) there are other ways to quiet your sweet tooth without going the refined sugar route. Here are a few ideas, many of which are huge for baking.
Honey Made up of a combination of fructose, maltose, glucose, and sucrose, honey is as much as 50% sweeter than sugar and has an individual flavor that can vary depending on location, time of year, and the bee’s diet. Honeys also offer some nutritional benefits in the form of vitamins, antioxidants, minerals, and other nutrients.
Maple Syrup actual maple syrup contains magnesium and zinc and comes from sugar maple trees. It's boiled down to the desired thickness and is typically about 60% sweeter than traditional table sugar.
Raw Sugar If you must have sugar then go for raw sugar, or sugar that has not been refined and still maintains its nutritional cost. Tastes very much like brown sugar (basically it is, although even less processed).
