Stevia help please!
So long story short, to want show my appreciation to a woman who has helped me quite a bit and will help me, I'm sure for a long, long time, I have decided to bake for her for our next meeting this Thursday. I give/share food with people I respect and care for; I want her to know how much she means to me.
However, she is hypoglycemic. I have found out through some questions to her that she prefers stevia to any other sugar substitute. Now I am freaking out! I have never cooked with stevia. A friend of mine has but not for a very long time and cannot find her recipes. She does have some stevia powder though and says that I can have a tablespoon or two if I need it as I am a poor little university kid ;)
My questions to you, oh beautiful and brilliant Vegwebbers: do you know of any good cookie or muffin recipes that call for stevia and regular flour/other regular ingredients? Could I adapt a Vegweb recipe like Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Nut Cookies (without the chocolate chips) http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=6758.0, or Don't Look Any Further Banana Bread http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=11441.0 or the Lucious Coconut Bread recipe from this site? How would I adapt them?
Any help would be really appreciated! I found out about the stevia situation today and I'm meeting with her on Thursday, so I don't really have a lot of time. I'm sorry about that. Be well Vegwebbers!
Warmth.
Personally, I haven't attempted converting vegan recipes to stevia.... but I'd imagine as long as yeast isn't involved, it *should* work okay....
Anywho, here's a few links that you may find useful:
