Note to Reader: Some of our recipes contain a sweetener by the brand name Swerve, which is a natural sweetener made from non-GMO ingredients. It’s composed of oligosaccharides and erythritol (a sugar alcohol or polyol) found naturally in some fruits, vegetables and fermented foods. Neither affect blood sugar or insulin levels. Swerve is a zero-calorie sweetener; however, its label lists 4g carbohydrates per serving. Since these are not absorbed, they’re not included in the nutrition information. Other similar brands include: Pyure, Lakanto, Norbu, and ZSweet. All can be used cup for cup like sugar. If you prefer to sweeten with stevia, adjust the quantity since stevia is concentrated and much sweeter.
