Product Review: Swerve Brown

 

In my last post, I reviewed Swerve Sweetener. For details of what this product is exactly and my review on flavor and performance, check here.

As promised, I am reviewing their newest product, Swerve Brown. It is their version of brown sugar.

I won’t rehash all the facts about Swerve, you can check that out in my last post.

I received a free package of Swerve Brown at the GFAF Expo in order to try it and give my opinion.

 

 

Ingredients:

erythritol, prebiotic oligosaccharides, vegetable glycerin, fruit juice concentrate (for color) and natural flavors.

 

Brown:

• looks like brown sugar
• packs like brown sugar
• tastes very close to brown sugar
• it is the equivalent of light brown sugar, not dark brown.

Use it 1 to 1 for brown sugar in a recipe.

 

 

Today I tested it in cookie recipes. I made grain-free chocolate chip cookies, as well as gluten-free pfeffernusse.

You can’t tell it isn’t brown sugar. The cookies tasted great.

 

 

I was very pleased with this product and plan on using it often. Next, I plan on trying it in some crumb topping.

PROS:

• it’s just like brown sugar
• substitute 1 to 1
• no calories
• no impact carbs
• keto-friendly
• diabetic-friendly

 

 

CONS:

• not readily available yet
• expensive
• not quite as sweet as brown sugar, but close

Where to buy:

• Amazon
• Kings
• Black Forest Acres
• The Fresh Market

for other stores near you, check their store locator.

 

 

This will become a regular in my pantry.
