I would like to use it for making a nut brittle. Could I substitute it for both the brown and white sugars called for in the recipe?

I used it for everything. Just boil to the correct consistency and it should be fine. I made a great caramel with it.

I think that you can. It is a bit more like brown sugar in that it's more moist than white sugar, but it would probably work. You can look online for how to use the "Ball Test" when making candy, or you can use a candy thermometer to ensure that the mixture reaches the correct temperature as per your recipe. I tried once to make candy on a very humid, overcast day & it did not firm up, so I'd recommend making the candy on a clear day :)

You could most likely substitute them both, but if you're use to it the other way, it may not be as sweet to your taste (but it will be healthier than white sugar). Coconut sugar is not a sustainable option, and I would recommend Rapadura instead. Another great, very sweet sugar alternative is Maple Sugar, also sold here on Amazon.

I have never made brittle. However, I have substituted this for brown sugar and white sugar in other recipes. Brown sugar is just white sugar with some molasses added. This coconut sugar has a nutty type flavor anyway. Some call it more "rustic" or "earthy". If you wanted to add some molasses to this you could. I would just add a little to this sugar and mix it well before you add the sugar to your other ingredients.

Hi, this sugar is very much like brown sugar. I use it for everything right now except for tea as it does taste different there. I use this coconut sugar for all my baking and sometimes do mix it with white sugar and sometimes not. I have never made brittle with it but I'm guessing you would be OK to use this exclusively and cut out the white. Good Luck!

Yes, but you may want to add a teaspoon of vanilla extract. I use a tablespoon or liquid Splenda instead of sugar.

you don't--powdered sugar is much finer ground. It can sub for brown sugar or regular sugar, but in a recipe because it's less sweet tasting I wouldn't sub. all, but maybe half with coconut palm sugar.

Yes, you should be able to do that, but make sure you include some xanthan gum. You can go on line and find the ratio of xanthan gum per cup for items from cookies to bread and in-between. It does make a significant difference. Don't panic at the name, Bob's Red Mill has it and you can find it on this site.

I looked on the disks and it does not say. I bought them to transform my bricks of brown sugar into soft sugar which it does beautifully. A satisfied customer

Yes, I just used it for making peanut brittle. Be sure to wipe the tip off before the mixture hardens on it.

I really haven't tried to bake with it. I've used it in baked desserts, (crumbles and crisps, in the fruit) but not in cakes or cookies. I would contact the manufacturer about this as sugar has an active part in the chemistry of baking cakes and cookies and you might have to do a 1/2 and 1/2 substitution (1/2 sugar, 1/2 stevita). I know that Splenda has a 1/2 Splenda & 1/2 sugar mixture they say works in baking, so the 1/2 & 1/2 mixture of stevita might work too. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

I have only used it for making almond and walnut nut milk. I am sorry I could not be of more help.

I mix white sugar with filtered water (1/4 cup sugar to 1cup water). I would imagine raw organic sugar would be an excellent substitute. In fact, I just might switch to that. Just remember the 1:4 ratio and you shouldn't have any problems. Change it out every few days! Btw I have had this feeder for a few years now and it has held up very well!

Yes, you surely can! You will need special recipes, though. Recipes in "The Spunky Coconut" come to mind right offhand, but there are surely others. You will need recipes that don't depend upon the caramelization capacity of sugar to make them succeed, so you can't substitute successfully in all recipes.

I was not able to do it. The blender's jar/canister is too large and the mixture sticks to the sides. It may work if the nuts are crushed in some manner and you start with very small pieces. Even then doubtful.

3 and 1/2 grams per 2 Tablespoons. I used this to make some muffins (Pina Colada) and I was very disappointed at the results. I followed a recipe from a book about cooking with coconut flour, so it wasn't that I had substituted anything. The batter was more like dough and the muffins were very dense. And the second day, they fell apart when you tried to eat one. Left a funny aftertaste too, but that might be from the sugar substitute (Splenda) than the flour. I haven't used any more since.

Yes! This is what would be called for in a recipe which calls for glucose syrup. This product has a similar consistency to corn syrup! (Or you could just use corn syrup instead!)

Yes. Just use it like you would sugar. But it is a little sweeter for the same amount.

I always mix this flour with Almond or Coconut Flour and don't have trouble. Try experimenting. Brownies should come out okay.

You can. I crushed almonds with this for a recipe. This will make nut butter but you have to put the nuts through the machine again and again to get a better consistency.

You can NOT just substitute this for regular flour in your baking. You should get on the Internet and research recipes calling for Almond Flour. It is wonderful to make gluten free cakes and brownies with, but needs adjustments when substituting for flour. Regular flour tastes like powder and this is ground nuts.
