Brown Sweet Mix
- 8 cups erythritol
- 4 cups xylitol, I prefer birch*
- 2 tablespoons THM Stevia*
- 2 tablespoons Black-strap Molasses
- 1/4 teaspoon Brown Sugar Flavor Extract or Maple Flavoring
- 1/4 teaspoon Caramel Extract
Combine all ingredients in mixer bowl. Mix well. Store in an airtight container. 1/3 cup equals 1 cup Brown Sugar.
*If you do not want to use Xyiltol you can use 12 cups erythritol . I use my Bosch mixer to mix the Brown Sweetener Mix. I allow it to mix for 3-4 minutes.
**The Best Stevia is from Trim Healthy Mama.

This Brown Sugar Extract from Olive Nation is the perfect flavor.
I love my Bosch Mixer for breads or anything that I want to mix without spattering my counter. The lid works wonderful to keep all the ingredients in the mixer bowl.
I buy Erythritol in 55 pound bags from my health/bulk food store. This is a very reasonably priced item on Amazon.
Xylitol can be either be derived from birch or corn. If you do have dogs, this product is very harmful to them.

Can you use the THM Gentle sweet instead of the separate sweeteners?
You could try adding the Black-strap Molasses and flavoring to THM Gentle Sweet. I cant guarantee the outcome but it should be okay.

Is there a sub for the erythritol? I have Xylitol , stevia, and Pyure.
All xylitol would work or you could use Pyure.
