Low Carb Faux Brown Sugar

Today, I made my first low carb faux brown sugar. I can no longer find my brown sugar substitute.

I don’t want to spend twenty bucks for a pound of sugar-free brown sugar substitute(next best option). This is the next best thing for me. Unfortunately, this not sugar-free or no sugar added. There is a small amount of molasses in it. This recipe is Low Carb Faux Brown Sugar(Xylitol and Dark Molasses).

Now Foods Xylitol, 2.5-pound bag

A short trip to the health food store to see if they have xylitol in bulk. I took a look around, didn’t see it and asked a store worker. Boy did I get the low down on xylitol! Do you know that this stuff comes from trees and some from corn, I didn’t. I found the store clerk well informed. He also showed me where they had it stocked on the shelves. One of the places was a bulk bin.

The health effects

Xylitol is good at reducing cavities. There is some evidence that it can cut ear infections. An early study on rats indicates that xylitol could be helpful in Osteoporosis.

The laxative effect

Xylitol does contain calories. It is sweeter than erythritol. Use xylitol just like table sugar in recipes. Do not use it in bread making as it affects the yeast’s consumption of sugar.
