The Best Sugar Free Keto Copycat Brown Sugar Recipe

www.melissaraecarr.com
When it comes to creating a dessert or sweet treat, I always have my kitchen stocked with my favorite low carb sugar alternatives for baking, especially keto brown sugar I made myself from The Best Sugar Free Keto Copycat Brown Sugar Recipe.
Everyone knows that chocolate chip cookies would not have the great chewy softness without some kind of brown sugar, so I have created a keto version so I do not have to miss out.

Equipment

  • small bowl
  • Fork
  • hand mixer or stand mixer optional

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Granulated Sweetener I prefer an erythritol blend with monkfruit.
  • 1 teaspoon Powdered Pure Stevia
  • 1 Tablespoon Molasses any kind will work, but blackstrap has the lowest carbs

Instructions
 

  • Put all ingredients in a small bowl and mix with a fork cutting the molasses and stevia into the granulated sweetener until it is uniform in color.
  • Use like brown sugar in recipes. This works great in baked goods especially!!
  • Store it at room temperature up to 3 months to prevent caking. Can be frozen up to 8 months.
  • I recommend making it as need so it does not go bad and crystallize.

Notes

  • If you need a sweetener lower on the glycemic index or are closely watching your sugar intake, then opt to use brown monk fruit sweetener blend by Lakanto and stevia glycerite liquid sweeteners. Add in a touch of maple extract to add in the "molasses" type flavor. This version in fact has zero calories, zero grams of sugar and zero grams of carbs.
  • Use my Keto Maple Syrup Recipe to have keto maple syrup on hand that you can use to make quick keto brown sugar whenever you want. Just add 1 tablespoon of my Keto Maple Syrup to a bowl of granulated sweetener and blend with a fork. This is something I would use if I am short on time and the maple flavor would go with the recipe I am using it in.
  • If you are following a Trim Healthy Mama lifestyle of eating then you may be familiar with gentle sweet. It is erythritol and stevia already combined for you. All you would have to do is add 1 tablespoon of molasses to 1 cup of THM Gentle Sweet and follow the rest of the directions as listed.
  • Molasses can be substituted with other syrup sweeteners made with natural ingredients if you wish such as yacon syrup, brown rice syrup or date syrup. This of course would add sugars to the brown sugar you are making and it would no longer be keto or low carb.  If you find a good sale price on molasses, especially during baking season, buy some up as it does not go bad.
Are there any tips for achieving the right consistency when making a keto brown sugar substitute?
It all has to do with how well you get the molasses or stevia glycerite mixed into the granulated sweetener. The better distributed it is, the better it will work in your recipes. If pressing with a fork is not working for you, you can always put it in your stand mixer with a whisk attachment or use a hand mixer.
Can I use a keto brown sugar alternative in any recipe that calls for brown sugar?
Yes, it bakes up just like regular brown sugar and can be used in any recipe calling for brown sugar. This helps open up so many possibilities in the low carb world of baking when you have your homemade brown sugar alternative ready to go.
Would you say that homemade brown sugar is the same quality as grocery store keto brown sugar?
I prefer my homemade over store bought keto brown sugar because it is fresh. Store bought keto brown sugar works just the same as homemade and they are equal.
