Brown Sugar?

[Enchantedraisin]

Ok.. duh.. I know we can't have brown sugar... not my question!


I was wondering if anyone knew of a good substitute?

I have heard of puting SF maple syrup in Splenda. Anyone have a good recipe for that--like exact measurements? to make 1/4 c brown sugar, 1/3 c, 1/2 c, 1 c? Also, is this good for baking... or will it make things turn out weird and gross?

Lemme know if you have the answers!

Brown Sugar Substitute
From Carroll Pellegrinelli

adapted from a SPLENDA® recipe
1 cup SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener, Granular
1/4 cup Sugar-Free Maple Syrup, preferably made with SPLENDA®
Mix ingredients well.

Replaces 1 cup of regular brown sugar to be used when baking.

I don't know how soon you would want it, but I know Sugar Twin makes a brown sugar that is SF. I haven't had it, so can't comment on it.

I use Sugar Twin brown sugar substitute. It measures like sugar. I used it to make a 'asian' marinade with sesame oil and rice wine vinegar. If I ever move on to grain I'm hoping to find something oatmeal-like to put it on.

I have purchased the Brown sugar, sugar twin also but have not used it yet. Doesn't it have Aspartime (sp) in it? The book says no, but can you get away with using it in moderation?

I just read the box and it has saccharine. So I did a little research and there was worry about cancer in large doses, but in the small doses I would use there was no more chance of cancer than if it were not used. So I'll use it up but I'll be checking out the other alternatives too.

I heard Sugar Twin was pretty gross. Not bad then?

I guess if I am puting it in some sort of baked good, then it wouldn't be so bad.

Hey, I got this recipe for "jam bars" from my work (I work in food service). I was actually trying a way to modify that recipe so that I could safely eat it. THEY ARE SO GOOD.... and they have oatmeal in them too... so good.

I'd have to use some sort of SF Jam or low carb jam... now sure how those taste though.

I love Brown Sugar Twin, and find it very useful. I use a little less in baking recipes than I normally would for ordinary brown sugar as the flavor is a tad more potent.

What's the jam bars recipe??? Sugarfreesheila, it's good to hear that you're using the brown sugar twin since I notice from your website that you're into developing desserts.

Hey, I'm all confused-like. I went to the store and was gonna buy this sugar twin brown sugar substitute stuff that you all speak of, but I looked at the nutritional info, and it said it had some 13 carbs. It didn't say anything about low carb anywhere on it. It said it was only a "zero calorie sweetener" or something like that. Are you guys sure this is safe for low-carbers?

[SugarFreeSheila]

It does have some carbohydrates (as does granular Splenda at 24 carbs a cup); but for the weekends, I allow them in the desserts I bake. While I don't go nuts and binge on these treats of course, but I see that treating myself with sugar-free, low-carbohydrate baked goodies a couple of days per week keeps me strictly on track on all other days.

I have had a few varieties and I personally like SF better than regular. I used to never use regualr cause it was too syrupy sweet. This kind is better. I don't feel my teeth rotting when I use it.
