Swerve Sweetener, Confectioners, 12 Ounce

Product Information

I have been a vegetarian for many years noe, but have recently become dairy free due to health problems but do like to bake and looking at recipes that have included Swerve and hadn’t heard of this before. Oligosaccharides add to Swerve’s sweet taste, and as they are prebiotic fiber, they may provide some benefits for our gut bacteria too. Note: The nutritional information above is for the vanilla buttercream frosting using 1 cup Swerve confectioners. Maya has a fantastic Low Carb Sweetener Conversion Chart that shows you how different amounts of sweetener compare. I always think of peanut butter cookies being soft and chewy, so I was still on a mission to find a way to do this.

Most stevia blends are not actually a 1:1 substitute with sugar-they're either way sweeter-or actually blended with sugar. The taste might be slightly different though, so experimenting a little might help with your personal preference. People using erythritol as their sweetener of choice have been shown to exhibit stable blood sugar levels when using it. Of course, whole foods are the best for our overall health, but for the occasional tasty treat, these recipes are hard to beat. The only sweets I have in my diet not creating a desire for more are the darker berries I mix in my whole grain and oat cereals.

For instance, Swerve serving sizes are simple because it’s a like-for-like, cup-for-cup sugar replacement.

Then, using either a hand mixer or stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter and cream cheese.I’ll also talk about erythritol substitutes (the most common question), and the recipe differences when using erythritol vs stevia, monk fruit vs stevia, and allulose vs erythritol. While ‘natural flavors’ certainly sounds better than ‘artificial flavors,’ they are not so different in reality. Despite this, the actual calorie content is still reasonably low; Swerve contains 51 calories per cup serving. The end result is that Swerve might be a natural sweetener, but it is much more processed than stevia leaf. Most brands of monk fruit and stevia are actually erythritol blends, so they will behave the same way, but they are sweeter.

This keto peanut butter chocolate ice cream is sweetened with Swerve Confectioners and is super creamy. After all, with exception to the flour and sugar, all of the other ingredients are already keto friendly. I suggest pairing these chocolatey keto cookies with a cold glass of unsweetened almond or coconut milk.

It is wonderful for baking sweets for that good, natural flavor and, I also make some of my fruit syrups now with it and, it’s fantastic. Interestingly, the shortcake uses reasonably healthy ingredients such as butter, coconut flour, cream cheese, and Swerve sweetener.

Natural sugarsweeteners– Granulated natural sugar-based sweeteners (like coconut sugar) can be used 1:1 like sugar, so they require no conversion. When using it 1 to 1 as a sugar substitute my cake and ice cream are way too sweet and I like sweet! Instead of a mix of almond and pecan flour, these cookies are made with almond flour and pecan cookie pieces.The buttery flavor of the tart crust and Swerve sweetened chocolate filling is the perfect balance of sweet and savory. The only downside to baking with Swerve is that with some recipes you may experience what is known as the cooling effect. I don’t know about you but for me, it’s hard to think about the holidays without thinking about pecan pie. You can either use the powdered, which is the same as the confectioners Swerve,or the classic white.
