Is erythritol the same as stevia?
No, they are not the same. Erythritol is a sugar alcohol often made from corn and can cause some gut issues in some people. Erythritol can be used cup for cup when replacing sugar in a recipe. Stevia is ground up stevia leaves that taste sweet like sugar but without the blood sugar affects of sugar. Stevia does not measure cup for cup when replacing sugar so it usually needs to be combined with a sweetener like erythritol to add bulk to a recipe.
How can I make these Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies Paleo friendly?
Switch the peanut butter for almond butter or cashew butter and use coconut palm sugar instead of erythritol.
