You can bake with stevia as long as you include something to make up for the bulk sugar adds. A good choice is applesauce. Try a Google search for baking with stevia. There are lots of good ideas. Good luck!

I am also a diabetic and I do not use it for sugar. I count three things, carbs, calories and fiber. As S. Nelson indicated, carbs break down into sugar.

I have not used it for that purpose, but I think it would be great in any xxx sugar recipe for icing. It is dehydrated maple syrup so the flavor is very good. It can be hydrated to use for syrup, flavoring and glaze. I really like the product.

Susan - I use this for everything. Once you use xylitol you will never go back to sugar. Hope this helps.

You can use it in place of flour for low-fat, low-calorie, low-glycemic baking. I have specific recipes that call for it. It has no flavor of its own, so it carries the other flavors of your recipe.

I have not but I think it would melt just fine. I have used it to bake in place or regular sugar and it tastes great. I have also used it in coffee and iced tea, tasty yummy.

Not to my knowledge..I just looked at the ingredients and couldn't find any sugar additives..

I did not buy them to use for baking. I use them for pulled sugar work, and they are great for that. They are much thinner than Silpat, which I use for baking. However, I would use these for baking, as you pointed out there is no fiberglass in these and nothing to come in contact with your food. So it's an opinion thing. I like both for different things.

Look again. If it is sugar-free it must say so on the package. Or call the 1-800 number somewhere on the package or find one for the company online by going on Google.

I have only used the "no sugar added" variety. I would urge you to try that if sugar is a concern.

I have used with sugar using the lower sugar recipe and also with Splenda. My husband like the sugar in his jam and I would rather not. There are instructions on the container for the low sugar recipe. This is a good buy compared to the stores in my area. Thanks for the question and good luck:)

Yes I've make bread with this product. I like it more for baking sweets, but it does work. Slightly dense for bread.

NO. You have to buy a Stevia baking mixture. This contains some sugar. Have already tried using this alone and the ingredient mixture made it obvious.

It says on the package that it can be used for baking. I have never done so but have used it as a sweetner for several years now.

You can use it as a one to one substitute for either. However, it has a flavor closer to brown sugar than white suger. Not a big deal in baking but noticeable on cereal ... really yummy on hot cereals though.

I personally only use liquid Stevia for sweetening beverages. It can be substituted for sugar for baking but you would need to add a bulking agent to your recipe to compensate for sugar volume. If I were using Stevia to bake with, I would use the powder form instead of the liquid because I find it to be cheaper. This is the exchange for sugar to Stevia: for 1 cup of sugar substitute 1 teaspoon of undiluted stevia powder or 1 teaspoon of a liquid stevia extract. For each 1 cup of sugar substituted, use 1/3 cup of a bulking agent. Healthier bulking agents include egg whites, apple sauce, fruit puree or yogurt.
