Can You Bake with Monk Fruit Sweeteners?

Video Summary:

Can you bake with monk fruit sweeteners? The answer is yes! But not with all monk fruit sweeteners. 

There’s 2 main types of monk fruit sweeteners, extracts and blends.

1. Extracts: These are a concentrated form of the fruit, and you can find them in different concentrations of Mogroside V, which is the special compound that makes monk fruit sweet.  
2. Blends: These are a combination of extracts with some type of filler (like erythritol or allulose).

Extracts are perfect if you just want to replace the sweetness of sugar, not its texture. For example, extracts are a great way to add sweetness to beverages like coffee and tea.

However, if you want to bake and get the same texture you get when using sugar, you will need a monk fruit blend.
