Sugar to Stevia Conversions One packet of stevia is equivalent to about two teaspoons of sugar. Leave a Reply Cancel reply You must be logged in to post a comment. Search Submit Clear. Search in Amazon. Do not buy Stevia Sweet water either. You are just buying water. Use filtered water and dissolve pure Stevia extract to your own taste.

Do an experiment. Do the same with 1 tsp of Stevia. Do a taste test. Some say you cannot use Stevia when baking with yeast. I think you can reduce the calories by a lot using Stevia. Baking is science. They say Splenda is safe, but are they. I did a research on Splenda and this is what I found. They were trying to make pesticides. Stevia is a plant NOT a chemical. They get the sweeter by boiling it. Do research before spouting off silly humans.

It is very bad for you in the long run. Stevia is safe and great for baking with AND for people with diabetes like myself. I would never suggest anyone buy anything on Amazon. It is riddled with counterfeit, fake, dangerous products. Amazon does nothing to vet its sellers to protect their buyers. A friend of mine bought some stuff for her hair. Within 5 minutes it was falling out in clumps! Some recipes call for drops and with better tasting liquid stevia this is easy to achieve. No one dislikes what I make, especially when I add fruit.

Today I am making homemade pumpkin ice cream with liquid stevia and I have no doubt it will taste just fine, thanks to the pumpkin pie spices added. Being diabetic I love having the liquid stevia available and use it frequently. Just my opinion. It is zero calories and gluten free. This is my guide to the sugar conversion in baking.

Just be aware that Stevia in the Raw contains dextrose, which is sugar! Always read the labels. I made a pumpkin pie, I used twice as much Stevia as sugar conversion called for, still not sweet.

That is because stevia is more of a sweetness booster, than it is an actual sweetener. The reasons to use erythritol is that it adds actual bulk like sugar does, it can also caramelize like sugar does. These two sweeteners really complement each other. For example, I always add a couple Tbsp of butter to my pumpkin pie, and let it cool on the counter slowly cooling too quickly also does that.

Also, condensed milk has a ton of carbs in it. So replace it with coconut cream to get a pumpkin pie that is diabetic friendly. Obviously, you should be using an almond flour crust to begin with…. John Smith, thank you, thank you, thank you, U have been searching for the correct amount of Erythritol and Stevia for the past week and now I know. I felt like Goldilocks! I want to make a healthier bread pudding using organic bread, unsweetened almond milk, and yes, buttah, but I keep getting different conversions!

Has anyone tried to make total icing with Stevia powder? I use the kind that is powder and equal measurement to sugar. Is it something I am doing wrong or is there a recipe that will work? Thank you for this info. I am a newly diagnosed diabetic 2 person. I have been reading as much as I can on the subject of stevia. This is the only more thorough info I have been able to find.

I intend to start trying recipes using this soon. I will report back with my findings. There is a difference in the amount if its PUR stevia or stevia in the raw, or liquid. For those that keep asking same question about how much to use. You need to know what kind of stevia-liquid, in the raw, or PUR stevia. Its not the site wrong, but on the type using.

So is it The Stevia Cookbook that is wrong? I guess proof-reading is a thing of the past. It also says to make a liquid concentrate to take 1 tsp.

Powder and mix with 3 tsp water The chart then reads 1 tsp. Powder equals 1 tsp liquid. If recipe specify 40 drops of stevia than it means 1 teaspoon, give or take? So confusing. No, 40 drops would be equal to 2ml of measurement. A teaspoon is 5 ml, so a teaspoon would be drops. The dry is equal to liquid in amounts.

Did you read the article or look at the chart above????? Well the charts kind of wrong in other aspects. No, this has been corrected in this forum up above. She was using 4 TBS as a cup, so it would be 4x that amount. I have purchased Stevia pellets similar to artificial sweeteners to go in tea and coffee- easier if you are out somewhere than having to take the powder or liquid form.

They are made by Sussli and come in a convenient plastic dispenser. I find with the powder form, I need a teaspoon in my coffee, the same as I would have with sugar. There is a big difference. I agree with Cheryl. The correct conversion is 3 teaspoons to 1 Tablespoon. And the correct abbreviation is 3 tsp to 1 Tbsp. I have bought Walmart brand stevia directions say one cup sugar equals one cup of stevia any comments, I am canning for diabetic reasons. I know the conversion is confusing!

If you bought stevia at walmart is it not pure it is a stevia blend. Stevia does not convert 1 cup to one cup. Nikki has it right. I agree with Vicki. Do not use Walmart brand stevia for diabetic reasons.

Please read ingredients and look for pure stevia powder with no additives. Hi just started New job and trying to find alternative to sugar for a basic sponge I would do 8oz marg flour sugar 4 eggs how much stevia would this be also has anyone for a basic biscuit mix thanks. Sorry, want to use sugar in a recipe that states the above amount in a recipe that I want to use. Would apprec iate any assistance. Its already been decided the topmost chart has a TYPO.

Both can be purchased online for Gurney. Seeds ship as available and plants ship according to your climate zone. I only have Stevia packets on hand. I grow my own stevia in the garden, dry the leaves and grind them very fine. I have never tried to use stevia when making jam or marmalade and I wonder how much should I put in this concoction in lieu of sugar:.

Baking blend is the big bag of powdered milk consistency fluff. I too think the chart if flawed. It takes one packet of equal for a 12 oz cup of coffee, or a bowl of cerial. It takes 3 packets of stevia to attain the same sweetness. I have tried 3 or more different brands of stevia including Truvia. We are going through the packets of stevia at a 3 to 1 rate. Something is really wrong with the stevia packaging.

Any body got the explanation and the solution? Now Better Stevia is the best. Found on line vitacost. It comes with a serving scoop, very tiny. This product last a very long time.

Good Luck Patty. I heard a lot of rumors about the usage of Truvia with cancer. If I remember right, the conversion is surprising, like 1T stevia leaf powder to 1 cup sugar. Although many keto-diets and recipes call for erythritol, a little research has caused me to turn away from it, as it is a product which requires considerable processing to make.

I have a dessert recipe calling for Splenda but all I have is sweet leaf stevia. Will using a liquid sweetener change the consistency of the end result? I am trying to cut sugar out of my diet and carbs down low. In this process I have looked at many approaches to this. I could see everyone else was as confused as me. I was looking through the book above. On page 33 it explained all the different sweeteners that keep the blood sugar down. It is explained quite well.

Then it has a conversion chart on page I think this could be very helpful to most of you. It was for me. Let me know if you find it interesting. I have the wrong combination of sweeteners for what I will be doing.

Swerve is what I need for this meal. Now brand stevia has a conversion chart on their site for those of you disputing over calculations. Look at your chart….. Now extremely confused — I wanted to make Macaroons and calls for gms of sweetener — so how many drops would this be? I weighed 2 table spoon of Sweetener and was about 5 gms — so does that mean I have to use about drops?????

The conversion on the website is not far off actually. The conversion on the website is not accurate. I agree with your logic on how can 1 cup of sugar equal 1 tablespoon of stevia. I make a 2qt jug of freshly brewed raspberry Bigelow brand tea and use a rounded tespoon of powdered stevita stevia and the sweetness is perfect and has no after taste.

I think in order to arrive at the desired sweetness for any recipe substitution it would have to be on a trial and error basis. Stevia is a very strong substitute, especially the liquid type. Baking with liquid Stevia is very different that granulated sugar. OK Guys, I have been reading the letters here and am totally confused. I have been using Stevia packets from the market for a couple of years.

Mostly, I live the Paleo lifestyle, am an 80 yr old female. Your letters are way above my head. Liquid Stevia? I came to this site because I wanted to make a blackberry pie using Stevia instead of sugar. For the first time in over a year I am giving myself permission to savor a real pie crust.

Still have to sooth my conscience and not eat processed sugar. I thought it would be fairly easy to substitute sugar for Stevia. I have 2 frozen store bought pie crusts and two baskets of fresh blackberries on my sink. I also have a couple hundred packets of stevia and several cups of frozen fresh strawberries in my freezer.

I have the will to bake a pie tonight but my mind is full of confusion after reading these letters. Stevia comes in different forms. The packets are an easy way to measure servings. It should say on the packet…. If it is only 1 tsp, just double the above. Just go by what you have and measure from that. All organic really means, is that the product was grown like a plant, vs artificial which is manufactured in a lab.

Chemically they are both identical. There are a few more differences, but I wont confuse you with those. Thank you Gary! I am baking a fresh apple cake for a friend who has diabetes and cannot have sugar. Just try it. My mouth is watering from the description of your fruits. You can do it! The chart above cannot be correct.

You show 1 cup sugar is equal to 1 teaspoon stevia. Think about it. There are 16 Tablespoons in a cup. If this is incorrect right off the bat, what else is incorrect on this website. Why does this website come up as one of the websites to choose from so high up in the list of choices when the information is incorrect.

I find that very scary. Is there a way to report a website with incorrect information so it does not show up so high on the list of choices when you search? Please forgive me for being so blunt. Am I the only one that every saw this? Please correct me if I am wrong. Your measurements are correct. The website allows input from anyone with or without mistakes. A bit like your last question.

Lighten up. And folks, just investigate more than one site or opinion. Likewise, measure twice, cut once. This conversion chart must be wrong. Do the calculations make sense to you? There are commercial sugar and stevia blends available as well.

Follow the directions for sugar-to-stevia conversion stated on the package. Many of these are designed for a cup-for-cup stevia-to-sugar ratio making baking with stevia no different than when using regular sugar.

For stevia packets , the sweetness of one packet is similar to 2 teaspoons of sugar. Twenty-four packets equal 1 cup of sugar. For pure powdered stevia , the stevia-to-sugar ratio is much lower.

Only 1 teaspoon of powdered stevia equals 1 cup of sugar. For baking purposes, the bags of baking stevia are more convenient and practical than individual packets. There are a few adjustments that should be made to substitute stevia for sugar. When baking cookies, stevia is best used in recipes for crisp cookie types such as shortbread.
