İmportant Note:
There are several options you can use instead of sugar in keto recipes, depending on the type of sweetener you prefer and the recipe you are making. Some options include:
- Erythritol: This is a type of sugar alcohol that is low in carbs and calories, and has a taste and texture similar to sugar. It can be used as a 1:1 replacement for sugar in many recipes.
- Stevia: This is a plant-based sweetener that is derived from the stevia plant. It is very sweet, so you only need a small amount to sweeten a recipe. It is also calorie-free and does not raise blood sugar levels.
- Monk fruit sweetener: This sweetener is made from the extract of the monk fruit and has a similar taste to sugar. It is calorie-free and does not affect blood sugar levels.
- Xylitol: This is another type of sugar alcohol that is low in carbs and calories, and has a taste and texture similar to sugar. However, it is toxic to dogs, so be cautious if you have pets.
- Swerve: This is a blend of erythritol and oligosaccharides, and has a taste and texture similar to sugar. It can be used as a 1:1 replacement for sugar in many recipes.
When using these sweeteners in keto recipes, it’s important to keep in mind that they may not behave exactly like sugar in the recipe. You may need to adjust the amount you use, or the recipe may turn out slightly differently. It may take some experimentation to find the right balance, but with a little practice, you should be able to find a sweetener that works well for you and your keto recipes.

It’s not Keto if it contains sugar. It’s really difficult to find UK measurements for Keto recipes, I had high hopes for this site.
Hello Dear Vanessa,
First of all, thank you for commenting and giving feedback.
We work hard to prepare the most beautiful recipes for you.
Here is the answer to the question:
Keto recipes may contain small amounts of natural sugars, such as those found in small amounts of dairy products, nuts, and some vegetables. However, most keto recipes are designed to be low in carbohydrates, which means they are also low in added sugars. The goal of a keto diet is to get the majority of your daily calories from healthy fats, moderate amounts of protein, and very few carbs, so added sugars are generally avoided. If you are following a strict keto diet, you will want to be mindful of any sugars that are included in the recipes you choose and make sure they fit within your daily carb limits.
We wish you happy and healthy days,
