I am making muffins this evening but do not have sugar substitute....

First off... what would that be?

Secondly if i needed 1/4 cup of sugar sub, would that be the same measurment for white sugar?

    Sugar subs are Splenda (which you should NEVER use), Stevia, Truvia, Xylitol. Or, when I make muffins I blend a banana and a little unsweetened apple sauce and use no sugar subs & it is sweet enough for me. Stevia in the raw is your cleanest bet on a sigar sub that will not give you a belly ache like Xylitol might.

    I use Truvia. Anyone have a "why you should or shouldn't" on this substitute. It tastes pretty darn good...

    Truiva is made from stevia. It's processed, but I don't feel it's powdered death like aspartame is.
