Best Syrup Sweetener?

MaiLinna

I want to make things like granola bars and rice rolls since they're so expensive to buy, but I don't know what sort of sweetener to use. I don't like maple syrup, honey is too floral, and I just read about the horrors of brown rice syrup. What the heck is left?

You can buy some vitafiber and add some sweetener to it if you want it sweeter, or just add naturally sweet products such as dried fruit

This actually looks pretty neat. I'm gonna have to try a small bottle. Thanks!

Edit: Oh shoot, it's only on Amazon.com, not Amazon.ca. The headquarters are right there in Edmonton, wtf? Ugh...if I can find it somewhere maybe, but I hate paying for shipping when we have Amazon Prime.

Agave is good. Also if you have enough dry fruit, you really do not need that much sweetener.

Stevia is the best and definitely the healthiest!

I like agave and I've used it before, but I've been hearing bad things about it recently. Dried fruit wouldn't help my rice rolls though.

Dates soaked in boiling water and then blended are a great natural sweetener with fiber too. Agave is bad same with anything else like rice malt syrup etc. It still spikes blood sugar levels dates included so eat small portions of what you make. Liquid stevia can also add sweetness.
