How do I convert sugar sub liquid into powder. Making banana bread for a diabetic?

My recipe calls for a 1/4cup melted diet butter or margarine(don't have that) and 1 cup equivalent non-calorie sweetener. I have SweetnLow packets. I'm making it as a gift. Please help as soon as possible. TODAY!! Desperate here.How do I convert sugar sub liquid into powder. Making banana bread for a diabetic?
The small amount of butter won't really do them any harm, just use regular butter. If you have a heart healthy margerine like Becel, that would be even better.





Each packet of Sweet N Low is equal to 2 teaspoons of sugar, there are 28 teaspoons in a cup, so ...





1 cup of sweetener would be equal to 24 packets of SweetnLow.





Make sure you add the same amount of liquid as the sweetener. In this case, because it calls for 1 cup liquid sweetener, you need to substitute 1 cup of water AND 24 packets of Sweet N Low.





If it just says 1 cup of sweetener, it probably means a dry sweetner like Granular Splenda, and you wouldn't need to add any water at all.





Here's a chart to help you convert in future recipes.

They have a recipe on their website for banana bread

You can skip the Butter Buds if you don't have them, but you need to add the water they should be mixed into so that it won't be too dry.





I would use a bit more vanilla extract, 1.5 teaspoons instead of only 1 teapsoon to help improve the flavour if you skip the Butter Buds.





If you make this recipe make sure you let the diabetic person know that it has 15 carbs per slice if sliced into 18 slices.





Whatever recipe you use, you should have the carb count and the serving size available for the diabetic.How do I convert sugar sub liquid into powder. Making banana bread for a diabetic?
You can't change the liquid into powder a small amount of water will dissolve the powder to liquid. If you don't have the diet butter maybe you should make them some cocoa and call it a day.
