Splenda in My Kitchen
The use of Splenda has been steadily increasing in my kitchen. Years ago, I only used Splenda sachets to sweeten my coffee and tea.
They are also very handy for on-the-go. Lately, I have switched to the Splenda minis, which fit even into my smallest purse.
It never occurred to me to use Splenda in baking until a couple of years ago, when I joined the Splenda newsletter, which contained some delicious recipes. I learned that Splenda can be used for baking and cooking and is measured in the amount as sugar. Pretty simple right? There is even a Splenda brown sugar blend, which is perfect for cookies, muffins and banana breads. (and more)
My family has been adapting to a low-carb and low-glycemic diet, and I am finding Splenda is one of the more inexpensive sugar substitutes.
To get your own Splenda recipes, I recommend joining the Splenda newsletter, which may also contain new coupons and seasonal recipes.

About Splenda
Splenda is a brand of artificial sweetener. It is a sucralose-based sweetener made from sugar. Sucralose was discovered by Tate and Lyle, and they partnered with Johnson & Johnson to make the Splenda product.
Sucralose was actually discovered in 1976, but it took years before it (and Splenda) hit Canada’s market. In the time between these two occurrences there was a lot of research done on the health effects of ingesting sucralose, and by 1991 Health Canada agreed that sucralose was safe for anyone to eat as an alternative to regular sugar. To date there have been over 110 studies that confirm the safety of sucralose
Splenda is not sugar, but it does start with sugar. In a transformation process, three hydrogen-oxygen groups from the sugar molecules are replaced with three chlorine atoms. The process changes sucrose into sucralose.
Sucralose is known as being a ‘zero calorie’ sugar alternative, although technically there is a very small amount of caloric content. A single serving of Splenda contains 3.36 kilocalories of energy, which is 31% of that for regular granulated sugar. Despite these trace amounts of calories, government regulations allow for Splenda to be marketed as a “No Calorie Sweetener.”
Splenda is not only used to sweetened beverages such as coffee, it can also replace sugar in most baking recipes.
