Description
Pure granulated monk fruit is my new favorite sweetener. It's a dry sweetener that's just monk fruit extract, without any bulking agents like erythritol, maltodextrin, or dextrose. Just pure, concentrated sweetness that's about 100-250 times sweeter than standard sugar.
But today, I want to add a bulking agent into the pure monk fruit to make it measure 1:1 like sugar, both by volume and weight. Introducing inulin, a low-calorie, high-fiber powder that is also mildly sweet. By combining together pure monk fruit and inulin, we can make a zero-calorie sweetener that can be directly substituted for white sugar in all recipes for no calories or added sugar.

- Mix together pure granulated monk fruit and inulin in a medium bowl. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
- This recipe makes 1 cup (200 g) that can be used as a 1:1 equivalent by weight and volume for white sugar. Each serving represents 1 tsp (4.2 g).
- Add 1 tbsp (20 g) blackstrap molasses to make 1 cup (220 g) of brown sugar.
- Here, I'm using my high fiber sugar substitute to make a batch of my Classic Fudgy Brownies, where I swapped out the 2 cup (240 g) powdered sugar for 1 1/4 cup (240 g) of sugar substitute. I also went for whole wheat flour and coconut oil instead of white flour and butter to make a healthier brownie.

I also went for whole wheat flour and coconut oil instead of white flour and butter to make a healthier cookie. I still used standard chocolate chips, so there's still added sugar.
