Brown Sugar Substitute

Brown Sugar Substitute

Everyday

Brown sugar substitute is a low-calorie sweetener blend designed to replicate the moist texture and caramel-like flavor of traditional brown sugar. Typically made from erythritol, stevia, or monk fruit combined with fiber or molasses extract, it provides 70-90% fewer carbohydrates than regular brown sugar while maintaining baking functionality. This plant-based alternative dissolves effectively in recipes and suits diabetic-friendly or ketogenic diets, though some blends may require adjusted liquid ratios for optimal results.
