Best Sugar Substitute

[RosB]

What is the best sugar substitute for cooking with?

I had a look in the supermarket and Stevia sweeteners seem to have very little Stevia in them.

I don't bake very often, but I'd still like to occasionally, sugar free of course.

TIA

First I tried Pure via and that was OK, now I'm on Truvia and don't find it tastes so sweet. I hear of others who like monkfruit.
It's really a matter of trying and personal choice. I just know I'm using less and less as it all tastes 'wrong' now

I use this. It’s great as a sugar replacement. Especially in cheese cake topping. Yum haha.

I use either erythritol or truvia. I find truvia is a little sweeter than ordinary sugar, erythritol on it s own not quite as sweet so good for baking.
Stevia is always cut with something else in granulated/powder form as it is extremely sweet on its own. Check what it is cut with as some of the cheaper brands cut it with sweeteners that can affect your blood sugar or have laxative effects.

I've just used the Erythritol in a lemon drizzle cake. Tbh I'm not impressed. Next time I bake I'll try the Truvia
