Guest guest Posted February 11, 2003 Report Share Posted February 11, 2003 Maybe someone here knows the conversion between honey and Splenda. I have a recipe that calls for 2 tbsp honey and I want to use Splenda instead. I can't have honey or sugar. I know that the Splenda website says that sugar substitutes like Splenda do not help the bread rise like sugar does but I have had no problem with this. My breads ALWAYS rise. Even with Splenda. So, I need this conversion. I am making my favorite whole wheat loaf tomorrow and need to convert the honey. Any help would be appreciated.

I can't have honey or sugar. 2 tbs. the rule is 1:1 sugar=honey up to 3/4 cup you won't need this but here's the conversion for larger quantities -- when baking * Exported from MasterCook * About honey in recipes Recipe By :The National Honey Board (www.nhb.org; also www.honey.com) Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Information Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 cup sugar 3/4 cup honey adjust liquid baking soda Baked goods made with honey have a rich, moist quality and do not get stale quickly. To substitute honey for sugar in a favorite recipe, remember these changes: *Use about 3/4 cup honey in place of every cup of sugar. *Reduce the liquid in the recipe by 1/4 cup for every 3/4 of honey you use. If there is no liquid to reduce, add 2 tablespoons of flour for each cup of honey used in the recipe. *Add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda for every cup of honey. *Lower the oven temperature by about 25 degrees to prevent excessive browning in a honey-rich recipe. * To measure honey, lightly spray a measuring cup with oil before adding honey, and the honey will slip out easily. * As a rule of thumb, remember that one 12-ounce jar of honey equals one cup. *Honey is 70 to 80 percent sugar; the rest is water, minerals, and traces of protein and other substances. CAUTION * Don’t feed honey to a baby under a year old. Honey may contain spores of a bacteria that causes infant botulism; adults and older children are not affected. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Per Serving (excluding unknown items): 1547 Calories; 0g Fat (0.0% calories from fat); 1g Protein; 409g Carbohydrate; 1g Dietary Fiber; 0mg Cholesterol; 12mg Sodium.
