You have to get a feel for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With the popularity of\u00a0<a data-parsed=\"internal\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bulletproof.com\/diet\/keto\/keto-diet-beginners-guide\/\">keto<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a data-parsed=\"internal\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bulletproof.com\/diet\/healthy-eating\/low-carb-beginners-guide\/\">low-carb diets<\/a>, it\u2019s important to know which is the best sugar substitute, and which to avoid\u2014entirely.<\/p>\n<h3>Sugar substitutes to avoid<\/h3>\n<p>Throw \u201csugar substitutes&#8221; into a Google search and there\u2019ll be no shortage of page results. However, there are some that you should keep scrolling on by, including artificial sweeteners like aspartame and sucralose. These are synthetic sugar substitutes and often have an offputting aftertaste due to the chemical content.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, it\u2019s important to note that agave nectar is a plant-based sweetener to avoid. Although it has a low GI index, which doesn&#8217;t spike your blood sugar, it is high in fructose.<sup><a href=\"#ref-1\">[1]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<p>To illustrate, sucrose, or table sugar, is 50% glucose and 50% fructose. Your liver is the only organ that can break down fructose in large amounts, which can lead to long-term health concerns.<sup><a href=\"#ref-2\">[2]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<h3>What about honey?<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-62788\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bulletproof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/glass-jar-with-honey-picture-id1042237544.jpg\" alt=\"A glass jar of honey\" width=\"1500\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While honey does contain carbohydrates, it has health-boosting antioxidants and makes a great sweetener to have in small amounts, especially when following the paleo diet.<\/p>\n<p>Note that diabetics (and those who follow a low-carb diet) should avoid raw honey, altogether, as it possesses a high glycemic index. However, if your diet allows for honey, remember to reduce the overall liquids in your recipe if you are substituting raw honey for sugar. For one cup of sugar, use 3\/4 cup of honey, then reduce your wet ingredients by 1\/4 cup.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pro tip<\/strong>: Raw honey retains more nutrients than cooked honey, so utilize honey as your sugar substitute in no-bake desserts. However, due to the risk of infant botulism in young children, raw honey should never be given to children under 1 and might even be better held off on until they are 2 years of age.<\/p>\n<h3>Opting for natural, low-glycemic sugar substitutes<\/h3>\n<p>There are many natural sugar substitutes that come from whole-food sources you should consider adding to your low-sugar or sugar-free eating plan. These sugar substitutes are great swaps for refined sugars, in terms of comparable flavor and their impact on your body. Unfortunately, refined sugar, which is white sugar, gets digested quickly. And over time, that\u2019s a recipe for insulin resistance and weight management issues.<\/p>\n<p>Low-glycemic natural sweeteners, on the other hand, don\u2019t spike your blood sugar the same way&#8230;<\/p>\n<div id=\"bulletproof-keto-friendly-fats\" class=\"nosto_element\"><\/div>\n<h2>Baking with the right sugar substitutes<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-62789\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bulletproof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/variety-of-sweeteners-stevia-sugar-pollen-and-honey-picture-id1150297854.jpg\" alt=\"A variety of sweetners\" width=\"1500\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So, which is the best sugar substitute to use for low-glycemic brownies, cookies, cakes and more? Baking with erythritol and xylitol are two options that don\u2019t give you that quick rise in blood sugar like white sugar does. Additionally, baking with monk fruit and stevia are zero-glycemic options that are popular in the sugar-free and keto communities. Baking with sugar substitutes can also open up a whole new world, which goes well with a variety of diets.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to the right low-glycemic natural sweetener swap, it\u2019s all about personal preference. Take into consideration what you\u2019re baking, as well as your health goals.<\/p>\n<p>Ready to find your ideal low-glycemic sugar substitute? You can choose from:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Erythritol<\/strong>: When baking with erythritol, use no more than \u00bd cup per recipe to avoid crystallization and dryness. Erythritol is best for same-day recipes, as there can be a cooling effect to the sweetness after more than one day. Keep in mind that pure erythritol contains about 60%-80% of the sweetening power of sugar.<sup><a href=\"#ref-3\">[3]<\/a><\/sup><\/li>\n<li><strong>Monk fruit extract<\/strong>: Pure monk fruit extract is 100 to 250 times sweeter than sugar,<sup><a href=\"#ref-4\">[4]<\/a><\/sup> but does not bake well in its purest form. Use it to sweeten a fat bomb, panna cotta, gelatin or any raw dessert\u2014any time where you don&#8217;t need a lot of sugar for texture in a cold application. Note that some mainstream brands typically pair monk fruit with erythritol. (Baking with monk fruit and erythritol combinations are great for sugar-free sweets.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stevia<\/strong>: Stevia is complementary when baking with berries, in particular, and high temperatures do not affect its sweetening properties. While stevia doesn&#8217;t provide the same texture as sugar, it is one of the best sweeteners to bake with. However, keep in mind that a little goes a long way: stevia is 200 to 300 times sweeter than refined sugar.<sup><a href=\"#ref-5\">[5]<\/a><\/sup><\/li>\n<li><strong>Xylitol<\/strong>: Be mindful of your sensitivity to xylitol, as it&#8217;s not easy for all to digest. It bakes well for those who can tolerate it, does not caramelize and tastes delicious. Xylitol is a good candidate to use in combination with other sweeteners, too. Remember, xylitol is toxic to dogs, so keep it (and all baked goods containing it) out of Fido\u2019s reach!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Inulin<\/strong>: Derived from chicory root, inulin is a plant-based fiber that has a mild sweetness. However, inulin powder is 10 times less sweet than sugar, which is important to note when calculating your ingredients.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"bulletproof-chocolate-dipped-bars\" class=\"nosto_element\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"bulletproof-collagen-protein-bars\" class=\"nosto_element\"><\/div>\n<h2>Easy, low-glycemic Bulletproof dessert recipes<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-59846\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bulletproof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Lemon_Drizzle_Cake_Blog_Header_Lrg-min.jpg\" alt=\"Keto coconut and lemon sugar cookies\" width=\"1500\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now that you\u2019re well-versed in the different types of low-glycemic natural sweeteners and how to use them, it\u2019s time to put your baking skills to the test!

For over 15 years, Julie has penned creative and captivating content for publications both international and local in scope; from the international editions of National Geographic Magazine to Vermont\u2019s sustainable food magazine From Field to Table. Though she can\u2019t resist trying every science-backed health tip, she also has a penchant for crystals and astrology (don\u2019t judge).
