Lakanto is one of the most well-known brands of monk fruit sweetener. It is often used in keto desserts and drinks.
It’s so sweet that it’s often mixed with other ingredients (like erythritol) to reduce its strong sweetness. It’s a powder sweetener that is extracted from monk fruit that are grown in Southeast Asia. Monk fruit is a popular option that has been around for a long time.Sugar alcohols can sometimes cause digestive issues, but erythritol does not usually cause issues unless eaten in large amounts. Swerve is a popular brand which is actually a blend of erythritol and other ingredients. It is slightly less sweet than sugar, but in most recipes it can be used as a 1:1 substitute for sugar. It is a sugar alcohol, does not raise blood sugar levels, and does not count towards net carbs. Erythritol is my preferred sweetener for most keto recipes.They also play a role in the structure and texture of the dessert, so it’s always a good idea to follow the exact sweetener the recipe recommends. Sweeteners often do more than just add sweetness to the recipe. I always try to stick with natural sweeteners, which I discuss more in detail below. Keto SweetenersĬonventional sugars like brown and white sugar, honey and maple syrup, among others are not keto-friendly, but there are several different sweetener alternatives you can use instead.
