| Sweetener | Taste | Browning | Moisture | Best Uses | Watch For |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Allulose | Mild, sugar-like | Strong | High | Cakes, brownies, soft cookies | Browns quickly; check color early. |
| Erythritol blend | Clean to slightly cooling | Low–Medium | Medium | Cakes, muffins, cookies | Can recrystallize after chilling. |
| Monk fruit blend | Depends on carrier | Varies | Varies | General baking | Read the exact brand conversion. |
| Stevia baking blend | Brand-dependent | Low | Varies | General baking | Use baking blends, not pure concentrate 1:1. |
| Brown-style blend | Caramel-like | Medium | Medium | Spice cake, carrot cake, banana bread | Good when deeper flavor is wanted. |
| Powdered sweetener | Same as base sweetener | Varies | Varies | Frostings, glazes, no-bake | Powdered texture reduces grit. |
Important: sweetener products vary by brand and formulation. The recipes use granulated allulose or a clearly labeled 1:1 granulated baking sweetener in the exact cup amount shown. If your product is not 1:1, use the conversion printed on its package.
