🍫 What Are Sugar Free Chocolate Chips?
Sugar free chocolate chips are just like regular chocolate chips — minus the sugar. Instead, they’re typically sweetened with natural alternatives like:
- Stevia
- Erythritol
- Monk Fruit
- Allulose
Our Sugar Free Chocolate Chips are made with at least premium 64% dark chocolate and sweetened with stevia — no sugar, no nasties, and just 0.8g net carbs per serving.
👨🍳 Tips for Baking with Sugar Free Chocolate Chips
Baking with sugar free chocolate chips is easy — but a few small tweaks can make a huge difference in taste and texture.
✅ 1. Use Recipes Designed for Sugar-Free Baking
Sugar-free chocolate chips behave a bit differently from regular ones. They may not melt as smoothly, and the overall sweetness will be lower.
Pro Tip: Use recipes made specifically for low-carb or keto baking so your end result is balanced.
✅ 2. Adjust Sweetness to Taste
Stevia-sweetened chips are less sweet than milk chocolate chips. You may need to add a little extra keto sweetener like erythritol or monk fruit to balance the recipe.
✅ 3. Don’t Overheat Them
Sugar free chocolate chips can seize or burn more easily than conventional ones. When melting:
- Use a double boiler or low heat
- Stir often
- Add a teaspoon of coconut oil or butter to help it melt smoothly
✅ 4. Watch the Bake Time
Sugar free ingredients can brown a little quicker. Keep an eye on your bakes to avoid overbaking — especially cookies and brownies.
✅ 5. Add Texture with Nuts or Coconut
Because sugar-free chocolate can have a sharper cocoa taste, pair it with texture-enhancing add-ins like:
- Chopped walnuts or pecans
- Toasted coconut flakes
- Sea salt sprinkles
Try this: Add sugar free chocolate chips and chopped walnuts to our Banana Bread Mix — it’s heaven in a loaf.
