Could I use truvia or Swerve? I never heard of monk fruit erythritol sweetener.

Hi Beth, Agave is low in glucose but is high in fructose. If you’re looking for a diabetes-safe sweetener we recommend monk fruit or stevia.

Hi Addie, from what I’ve researched sucralose is not recommended for baking and can raise insulin levels.

Hi T, to replace 5 tbsp Monk Fruit Erythritol Blend, use 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp Swerve.
