DIY Stevia Erythritol 1:1 Sugar Substitute For Keto Baking
Description
The DIY Stevia Erythritol 1:1 Sugar Substitute is designed to replicate the sweetness and volume of sugar through a blend of erythritol, a sugar alcohol, and stevia, a natural sweetener. It can be prepared as a granulated blend by thoroughly shaking the erythritol and stevia together or as a powdered sweetener by blending the mixture until fine. This dual form ensures versatility depending on the texture preferred for baking or cooking.
The recipe includes a practical guideline for adjusting proportions for different batch sizes, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the 1:1 sweetness ratio. This allows bakers to scale the substitute accurately to their specific recipe needs without affecting the outcome. The simplicity of preparation means it can be made fresh and kept ready for immediate use.
The substitute helps maintain the structural and moisture balance in baked goods, crucial for keto-friendly recipes where sugar is omitted. It offers a familiar sweetness without the calories or blood sugar spikes associated with sugar, providing an accessible alternative for low-carb cooking and baking.
Ingredients
- ½ cup erythritol
- ½ teaspoon stevia
Instructions
Granulated sweetener blend
- Add the erythritol and stevia to a jar, up to two thirds full, and close the jar lid.
- Shake the jar very well for a whole minute. Done!
Powdered sweetener blend
- Add the erythritol and stevia to dry blender jar, and make sure to close the lid tightly.
- Blend for a few seconds, until the erythritol becomes powder. Shake the jar, and blend for a couple more seconds, to ensure stevia is mixed throughout.
- Wait until the powder settles before opening the jar.
Notes
- Adjust the quantity of stevia based on your erythritol amount by dividing the erythritol grams by 100 to calculate stevia grams for accurate sweetness.
- The granulated blend is made simply by shaking erythritol and stevia in a jar for a minute.
- To make a powdered version, blend erythritol and stevia until fine, shaking the jar between blends to ensure even mixing.
