Stevia for Baking

Ground Stevia for Use in Baked Foods

 

 

Step 1

Rinse the Stevia leaves in cold water and lay them flat on paper towels. Pat the moisture from the leaves and let them sit out for a few minutes.

Step 2

Break off any stems. Grind the dried Stevia leaves to powder using a mortar and pestle or spice grinder.

Step 3

Scale, or portion, out the dry ingredients -- except for sugar -- for the recipe. Portion 1 tablespoon of ground Stevia for every cup of sugar called for in the recipe.

Step 4

Scale out the wet ingredients for the baked good and add an extra 1/3 cup of the primary liquid for every tablespoon of Stevia used. For example, if you're making a hot-milk sponge cake -- which calls for 2 cups of sugar -- you would add an extra 2/3 cup of milk because you are using 2 tablespoons of ground Stevia to replace the 2 cups of sugar.

Step 5

Mix the batter and examine the consistency. If the batter is too loose from the additional liquid or bulk ingredient, add flour, a teaspoon at a time, until it stiffens to the desired consistency. Bake the baked good at a temperature up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
