Sugar to Stevia Conversion Chart: How Much Sweetener to Use

Quick answer: For the Sugarless Organic Stevia 350g canister, ½ teaspoon provides the sweetness of 1 level teaspoon of sugar. This is a guide to sweetness by volume, not a guarantee of the same texture in a recipe.

There is no single sugar-to-stevia conversion for every brand or format. Our canister combines organic erythritol and organic steviol glycosides; it is not pure stevia extract. Tablets, sticks, liquid sweeteners and other blends have their own serving instructions.

Sugar to stevia conversion chart: Sugarless Organic Stevia 350g

Sugar volume Stevia blend for equivalent sweetness
1 level teaspoon ½ teaspoon
2 teaspoons 1 teaspoon
1 Australian tablespoon (20ml) 2 teaspoons (10ml)
¼ cup ⅛ cup
½ cup ¼ cup
1 cup ½ cup

Use the same measuring system on both sides. Larger quantities above scale the canister’s teaspoon sweetness guide; they are not tested substitutions for every recipe. Do not apply the volume ratio to grams: ingredient density and recipe structure matter.

Organic Monk Fruit 350g: a different sweetness ratio

Sugarless Organic Monk Fruit Sweetener blends organic erythritol with organic monk fruit extract. Its serving guide is 1 teaspoon for the sweetness of 1 level teaspoon of sugar. That 1:1 sweetness guide does not mean it behaves exactly like sugar when baking, caramelising or setting.

Tips for baking with stevia

For help choosing between the two canister blends, see our guide to baking with stevia and monk fruit. It explains sweetness versus structure and links to recipes for each product.

  • Choose a recipe for your blend. Sugar contributes volume, moisture and texture as well as sweetness. Reducing its volume can change the result; there is no universal amount of yoghurt, fruit or flour that fixes every recipe.
  • Do not judge only by browning. Sweetener blends may colour differently from sugar. Follow the recipe’s cooking and doneness guidance.
  • Use care with sugar-dependent recipes. Caramel, hard toffee, meringue and preserves need more than a simple sweetness swap.
  • Check every ingredient. Using a sugar-free sweetener does not automatically make the finished cake, biscuit or dessert sugar free.

How much stevia equals 1 tablespoon of sugar?

For this blend, 2 teaspoons (10ml) provide the sweetness of 1 Australian tablespoon (20ml) of sugar. Check your measuring spoon size if using an overseas recipe.

Can I substitute the same amount of another brand?

No universal ratio applies. Check that brand’s pack and whether it is a concentrated extract or a blended sweetener.
