artificial sweeteners for baking

How does pure sucralose taste compared to Splenda? I hate the taste of all sweeteners except brown sugar, but Splenda is the closest sugar substitute I can tolerate (no hives, no gastro issue, or aftertaste that makes me want to vomit). However; I still get hint of an aftertaste, so I only have it in tea/coffe substitute.

I think it tastes better because it's the fillers that cause the aftertaste. Give it a try, I think you'll like it!

I?m ? lucky ? enough to dump severely so painful experience has taught me to stay away largely from sugar in any form.

But especially this season when U can FEEL the cold coming in I crave substantial fall foods - squash , even fat free homemade banana and pumpkin bread. I use commercial mixes no oil fat free skim milk and butterbuds and real fruit / vegetable purée to keep it moist. I can?t eat very much sweets so dumping isn?t a real issue .

One very low sugar and nearly fat free sweet I love is fresh fruit mixed with lite cherry pie filling in strudel dough cups ( fat each less than one gram) I serve these with fat free whipped cream ... yummo. You can also make a marzipan enhanced cooked vanilla custard or key lime pie mix... or even low-fat low sugar individual pecan pies :)

The sugar is not the only issue here, the things in the 'baking' are. I just coconut sugar for baking and use a fraction of what is called for so you need to adapt recipes for moisture. I also use a lot of almond flour instead of other flours. That said, unless you are doing super well at maintaining your weight...adding in a bunch of baked goods, carbs and bread are not going to help you meet or maintain your weight loss goals.

I'm like everyone else, I stayed away for any and all trigger foods for me until I hit goal and kept it off. But once you feel you can control it there are a lot of options out there for recipes. Checkout our recipes here on OH

I only use Whey Low for baking. I can't use any sugar alcohols without gas and diarrhea. Whey Low bakes and tastes exactly like sugar.
