If you mix is a little thick, add some milk to thin it out.
Grease a cake tin and pour your batter in. Bake at gas mark 4 for 25 minutes.
Verdict:
Because stevia is very sweet I used half the amount of stevia by volume than sugar and I added more cocoa than usual and so these were quite grown up brownies, consequently the little two weren't keen and so I will probably ice them to sweeten them up. I found the stevia left a strange after taste in my mouth and I'm not sure I'll bake with it again.
I would love to hear how you all get on using sugar substitutes, but think I'll stick to using honey and maple syrup for now.
I never got the hang of baking with Stevia either. Maybe you could try a fudgy brownie sweetened with dates.
ReplyDelete+SissyWitch thank you for answering my query, I have never thought of using dates! Do you have a link to a recipe that you use?
ReplyDeleteThank you again for your help

I haven't baked with Stevia before. I do need to start looking for some dessert recipes that are sugar free for my husband.
ReplyDelete+PamelaBarton There are some lovely recipes using honey or maple syrup, but I won't use Stevia again, it leaves a funny taste in your mouth :(
