Ingredients & Substitutions

Sometimes, but not as a universal one-for-one swap. Research suggests that some substitutes can reproduce parts of sugar’s texture role in particular cookies, cakes, or fillings, while others change spreading, height, moisture, browning, or softness.

Sugar does more than sweeten baked goods: it affects water, starch, gluten, spread, structure, and browning. Studies describe promising results with certain substitutes, especially when the recipe is reformulated—for example, predissolved isomaltulose produced cookie-baking responses similar to sucrose, and selected xylitol–trehalose mixtures helped maintain softness in a moist filling. Other research found that sugar type and particle size can substantially change cookie or cake texture, so a substitute generally cannot be expected to match sugar without adjustments to the formula and baking conditions.
