Can I use this sweetener when baking? and how much is the ratio (e.g.splenda)

I used it with making some coconut flour pancakes, this is so much more concentrated than splenda, no joke in my coffee a tiny few sprinkles will do easy, where now if I switch back to splenda like 6 teaspoons is still not as sweet. I can say this the smallest pouch lasts me 2 months using it in my coffee which is daily 1 to 3 cups. You might have to put say in your mixture and taste test it for sweetness to your liking.

I'm sure it can be used anywhere you'd use Splenda or generic sucralose sweetner. As to the ratio? 1/30th to 1/40th of a teaspoon is equivalent to almost a third to half the largest bag!! of splenda. Splenda is apparently 99% or higher filler, and we found that shocking. We used to go through several bags a month; this bag will last us 8-10 months. We have a very tiny plastic spoon we use with it that came out of a package of powdered Sweet and Low if I remember. We just use it for drinks and cold desserts, I rarely bake. I don't think you can use it to brown bread like sugar, but then I don't think Splenda works that way either. I'm sure it can be used anywhere you'd use Splenda or generic sucralose sweetner.

You can use pancake mix but not too thick. Add sweetener and do not over mix the batter.

If you check the labels on Splenda or Equal or other Stevia brands you'll find that all the good-tasting artificial sweeteners include a tiny amount of sugar in some form or another. You avoid much larger intake of sugar using these sweeteners over sugar or honey, but it doesn't drop down to 0.I have no problem with that.

The manufacturer recommends you use half the amount listed for extract. I have found that using half works well. On a few occasions I have forgotten and have used the full amount, and whatever I was baking still came out great. I love this vanilla in my morning pancake recipe!

Can you please explain why? Erythritol can be used 1:1 with a slightly less sweet taste and no after taste. It also does not cause any of the stomach ailments other sugars do. I also use it with liquid stevia such as vanilla or lemon and just add a bit of extra flour or cut back a dropper full of liquid. Hope that helps. I haven't found a good brown sugar substitute yet though with erythritol. Maybe someone else has?

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!

Do you still add powdered milk to thicken it up? Thanks for your reply. I love mine. I use homemade vanilla and read about a tiny dash of salt (can't recall the purpose ) and about a cup of the bulk Splenda (not the little envelopes) done in 6 hours.

I used it in a cookie recipe today, and it worked fine. I used 1/8 tsp. stevia plus 1/4 cup xylitol to sweeten cookies made with 2 cups of almond flour. The sweetness was perfect for my taste.

They both are fine for baking. Usually you use the powdered confectioner's sugar to make icing but I have used it in regular baking of cookies and bread. The Swerve sugar is very sweet but good. I personally think it is sweeter than regular sugar.

I would say not, but I haven't tried it. I've never met an artificial sweetener that tastes exactly like sugar. It seems there's always an after taste. I think it's the best of the lot even though it is 70% sweet as sugar. Monk fruit extract mixed with this product may be a better combination although I am not sure of the percentages of each to make a mix. I'm going to order this as I have used eryrithritol before and although it is not perfect it is the best of any. Splenda is okay as sweetener but full of chemicals that are a bit scary with potential health problems.

Stevia is probably the best sweetener there is as far as health is concerned. It's all I'd use if I didn't dislike the aftertaste. If you're happy with it, you should definitely stick with it.

I purchased unsweetened (don't know if they sell a sweeten version) it has a more subtle coconut flavor than the sweetened alternatives. On the other hand you can control what kind and how much sweetener you want to use. It reminds me of unsweetened coconut milk. If baking with it, it does not yield the same effect as sweetened coconut.

I have no idea. does it really matter? the final result is perfect.no matter what reciepe you use. this shouldn't be healthy if you have a healthy diet ; same as other bakery products :)

I used to mix it with trader joes cocoa to give my brownies and cupcakes a rich dark chocolate taste. It's pretty good. Trader Joes changed their cocoa formula so it's so light now that I just had to buy another brand entirely. This cocoa is too expensive for a bakery but it's great for home use.

I depends how you use it. There are supposed to be different ratios for different uses. In general, if you just mix it for use as a cow milk substitute, you get approximately 1 3/4 gallon. That is one rounded tablespoon per 8 oz of water. For cooking it is 2/3 cup powder mixed with 1/4 cup hot water. For desserts, it is a 1:1 ratio of powder to water. You will get much less using the cooking or dessert ratio. I like to make it richer with more powder, and then add liquid vanilla creme stevia sweet drops from sweet leaf. These can be found at www.sweetleaf.com/products/sweet-drops-products or Amazon or your local health food store. Pick any flavor you like. I depends how you use it.
