Keto Friendly Sugar Replacements for Baking

Sugar is a staple ingredient in the baking world, but not one which is welcome in a Keto diet. So if you want to enjoy sweet treats and Keto baking, it's important to seek out a Keto friendly sugar replacement.

The good news is that there are loads to choose from and most are suitable for baking with. In this recipe we have used powdered erythritol, a type of sugar alcohol which contains only indigestible carbs and so does not effect blood sugars. It also has the same texture as sugar and a like-for-like sweetness - what's not to love?

Montezuma's Absolute Black Dark Chocolate

We use Montezuma's Absolute Black Dark Chocolate in this recipe. It is 100% Cocoa solids and nothing else - darker than dark and not for the faint-hearted, but really delicious and luxurious if you're a dark chocolate fan.

As well as plain, you could also try some of the other Absolute Black flavours including mint, orange and almond - to bring an extra twist to your Keto chocolate cookies.

Whichever you choose, you'll be safe in the knowledge that it's free from gluten, soya, colourings, preservatives and added sugars 🙌
