Organic Baking

It is real fun making baking your favorite food at home. Making cookies and brownies is not only amusing, but it also impresses your family and friends. In addition, you also save money whilst cooking at home instead of getting the desired product from a bakery.

All bakery products are full of unnecessary fat and cholesterol. However, this fat can be reduced to a high extent if the artificial sugar is replaced with natural and organic sweeteners. The trick lies in finding the right sweetener for the right food. For example, there is a proper procedure to bake bread with bananas which will involve using bananas as the organic sweeteners.

Selection of Sweetener

Choosing the best organic sugar for baking can get difficult; although the most successful is a blend of stevia and erythritol. Stevia is basically a herbal extract which is sweeter than sugar. It is used to add flavor to smoothies, frostings, sauces, glazes and icings. Remember that a little bit of stevia will go a long way.

Erythritol, however, possesses the physical properties of sugar but is not as sweet as sugar. It is present in some fruits as fructose in small amounts, while some mushrooms contain it in larger amounts. In addition, fermented fruits such as wine and soy sauce contain erythritol in large amounts too.

Ideal quantity in which the erythritol/stevia blend should be used is 1:2 in place of sugar. For example if you would generally use 50 grams of sugar in a particular recipe, you can replace it with 25 grams of the erythritol/stevia blend.
