Swerve Sweetener, Confectioners, 12 Ounce

Product Information

But, my favorite way is putting it on these keto vanilla cupcakes. The creamy frosting blends so well with the fluffy vanilla cupcakes. Gah, it's so good. Although we tend to demonize sweet foods, there isn’t anything particularly bad about using a sweetener from time to time. Both monk fruit and stevia extracts come in powder or liquid form when you buy them concentrated. They can be part of granulated sweetener blends, though. In other words; that extract can be fried, boiled, mixed with various solvents, or anything else the flavor producers want to do. However, most of this research is on artificial sweeteners and, unfortunately, very little exists on erythritol.

Each of the recipes in this collection use Swerve sweetener, a popular sugar replacement based on erythritol and prebiotic fibers.

Therefore, it is essential to know what effect Swerve may have on blood glucose and insulin levels. Swerve is a great choice for low carb baking. I do think that sweet foods can cause a craving for more… but I’ve never experienced (or heard of it) with erythritol/swerve. Some people get into a cycle of reliance on sugary foods though – and many of them don’t even realize the situation because it’s just part of their normal day. Swerve uses an extract of this fiber initially derived from vegetables. Although the manufacturer does not disclose the exact source, we can guess based on the plant foods that are high in oligosaccharides.

Swerve can be used to sweeten drinks and smoothies, baked goods, and anything else you would traditionally use sugar to sweeten. Lastly, this one isn’t a dessert as such, but it is a condiment that can be used with many different things. That menthol type feeling is from the erythritol. Other sugar alcohols such as xylitol do the same thing… which is why they are always in chewing gum/breath fresheners/toothpaste etc! However, it is important to note that anyone with diabetes should always discuss dietary changes with their medical team. For example, if it is Sweetleaf stevia powder, apparently one cup of Swerve would be equal to 2 tsp of their powdered stevia. (see here: https://sweetleaf.com/stevia-conversion-calculator/)

3) Keto Strawberry Shortcake Recipe (by Kasey Trenum)

Oligosaccharides are considered high FODMAP foods. FODMAPs are short-chain carbs that can cause digestive issues for some people when fermented by gut bacteria. Dark chocolate and peanut butter is a classic combination, and a portion of this cheesecake only contains six grams of net (digestible) carbohydrate. Then, using either a hand mixer or stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter and cream cheese. This has such a great flavor and consistency! It was super easy to use with my new pastry bag! And my daughter was eating it by the spoonful!

I have been using Swerve for my baking needs only. For drinks I use honey, or stevia, which I still dislike after like 8 years. Some things I’ve given up using it period in and learned to drink the drink bland. I use it for baked goods only because of the cost. It’s very expensive, so I have to limit my use of it. It’s come down in price but, still needs to fall a bit more for me to give it a try for something else. Because oligosaccharides are prebiotic fibers that cannot be broken down by the human digestive tract, they’re considered calorie-free ( 3).

Product overview

The taste is also similar to Xylitol; if you’ve ever tried any kind of sugar-free mints then there’s a similar taste there too.
