21Keto and Low-Carb Desserts Without Erythritol

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

To make my keto desserts very low in total carbs, I try very hard not to use erythritol in my desserts.

Another benefit to not using erythritol is that some people get an upset stomach from it and diarrhea (source). People also like to stay away from all artificial sweeteners.

Below are 21 desserts that use pure monk fruit sweetener instead of erythritol. Monk fruit is not an artificial sweetener and contains zero calories and carbs (source).

Some people don’t like the taste of monk fruit and that’s okay. If you are one of those people, you can use stevia instead. Just make sure to use the pure form of stevia without anything else added to it.

Below all the recipes, I provide some sweetener options that can replace erythritol in some keto desserts. The blog of Wholesome Yum Foods created it.

Alternative Sweeteners for Keto Baking

The blog of Wholesome Yum Foods created sweeteners that combine monk fruit and allulose together. This sweetener is a 1 to 1 equal exchange to regular sugar. You can use this blend instead of an erythritol blend.

The only downside to not using erythritol in some baked goods is that you won’t be able to have crispy cookies. Allulose does not crystalize when it’s cooled as erythritol does.

Here is their storefront for all of their sweeteners. Make sure to select the ones with monk fruit or allulose on the bag.

All of their syrups have zero erythritol in them as well.

One way to make your cookies crisp up more is to leave them out in the air and they will be harder.

This company also has baking mixes made with zero erythritol as well. This is definitely hard to find in the store.
