[QUOTE="BibaBee, post: 1980712, member: 479239"] I made the same mistake early on in our low carb journey. One of the benefits of xylitol is that you can use it at the same ratio as sugar in any baking recipe, so 1:1. Erythritol is about 70% as sweet as sugar, but you can add stevia to up the sweetness if needed. There are some stevia and erythritol sweeteners too, just to confuse matters! Always check the ratio, as I have one that is twice as sweet as sugar! I think Diet Doctor explains the differences quite well [URL]https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/keto/sweeteners[/URL] I know some people find xylitol raises BG, whilst erythritol / stevia tends no to in most people. *Edited to add "as sweet as sugar"....xylitol isn't 70% less sweet!
