Chef’s Secret

When baking with sugar substitutes, remember they don't provide the same bulk or browning properties as real sugar, so adjust recipes or expectations.

Substitutions

Best Match

Erythritol + Molasses

1:1 (molasses to taste)

Good for baking, similar texture, but molasses adds carbs.

Stevia-Brown Sugar Blend

1:1

Natural, lower calorie option, but can have a distinct aftertaste.

Brown Sugar

1:1

The original; higher calories and sugar.

Monk Fruit Blend (with erythritol)

1:1

Another natural, sugar-free alternative with good bulk for baking.

Buying Guide

Store in an airtight container to prevent clumping. Check ingredient list for specific artificial sweeteners.
