My keto sweetener guide is a good place to find alternatives. I personally like Bochasweet which is extracted from a Japanese squash. It's a one-for-one sub for sugar. Allulose is another bulk sweetener you can try, but it it is a little less sweet than sugar.

The problem is the only one I’ve been able to find is a particular stevia select brand that doesn’t add the other junk like you mentioned.

Erithytol (spelling?) bothers me and some are beginning to recommend against it because it bothers their stomach.

There doesn’t seem to truly be any bulk for bulk safe, healthy (okay on digestive tract) sweetener that can be swapped out to make muffins or a holiday cake. I’ve tried many times with stevia but it’s so concentrated that if a recipe calls for 1/2-1cup of sugar or powdered sweetener, for example, pure stevia has not worked since it’s only a tiny bit of powder. This would be the same with nu naturals monk fruit I believe?

It looks like from what you wrote that you prefer the nu natural brand liquid drops which is similar to the stevia.

With all the recipes you have shown below in related posts, you must be using other things like swerve etc. to bake?

Have you been able to find any good low carb recipes for chocolate cake or muffins that can use just pure Concentrated stevia for sweetener? If you do would SO appreciate if you would do a YouTube video or post on that ????

Pure monk fruit extract has zero carbs. If it's blended with a granular sweetener, the additional sweetener adds carbs.

It is 200x’s sweeter than granulated sugar therefor the recommendation is half what your recipe calls for. If it calls for 1 cup of sugar use 1/2 cup of monk classic. Hope this helps.

It depends. Are you using pure stevia or a erythritol blend? Eating too much sweet foods and drinks can actually cause several issues including activating the hunger hormones.

This is what I should be using?

I just buy the liquid form of monk fruit extract. It's a great replacement for liquid sucralose and is made by several brands. I like the drops made by NuNaturals, but Lakanto also sells one in a squeeze bottle.

I'm arriving a bit late to the party, but I have a question: Have you ever made a liquid sweetener with Monk Fruit sweetener? If so, what ratios do you recommend. I need to eliminate liquid sucralose, having learned how unhealthy it is, and need to replace with something better for me. Thank you for any help you can offer!

It's 4 g of sugar alcohol (Erythritol)
Which you subtract from the total therefore, its zero net carbs.
