I use splenda and the splenda brown sugar for baking. I have found it works the best of the sweeteners I have tried. Splenda contains sugar so you get moistness , browning and rising that you lose in some sweeteners. It contains half the calories and carbs of regular sugar. This is the guide I use. If your recipe calls for 1/2 cup of sugar = 16 packets of splenda no calorie sweetener, 1/2 cup of splenda no calorie granulated, 1/4 cup splenda sugar blend or splenda brown sugar blend. You may have to play around with the amounts a little depending on what you are making but we have found that it can be used in almost all our friends favorite baked goods with good results. We have run these recipes by her dieabetic doctor and he approved them, saying don't go crazy and eat the whole thing in one day but in moderation they should be ok. Hope this helps you.
