About Allulose
Sugar
- It’s found naturally in dried fruits like jackfruit, figs and raisins. It's found in small quantities which makes it difficult to extract from its original source.
- It's Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Kosher Pareve, Diabetic-Friendly, Sugar Alcohol Free, Supports Weight Loss and is Vegan friendly.
- It has the same chemical formula as fructose. It will not raise blood sugar or insulin levels, because it isn't metabolized by the body.
- The taste and texture is remarkably similar to sugar, while providing minimal calories. 1- calorie per teaspoon. Regular sugar is 16 calories per teaspoon.
- It doesn’t have the sour or bitter aftertaste like most non-sugar sweeteners. You have to use more because it will not be as sweet as sugar. For instance, this recipe for regular sugar would be 1 cup, so I used 1 & ½ cups of Allulose.
- It bakes well and it has the same bulk and browning characteristics as white sugar. It will brown faster than sugar so it may require a slightly lower cooking temperature.
- Allulose is still a pretty new entry to the food scene, and while it may be difficult to find at your local market, you can definitely find it online.

- Once the cocoa and butter have cooled down, whisk in the eggs one at a time and add in your extract of choice and 2 tablespoons cold coffee brew or cold coffee.
- Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and blend together until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts.
- Pour the batter into your pan and spread evenly.
