Vickie's Notes:

I replaced 1 cup of brown sugar with 1/2 teaspoon of powdered Stevia concentrate dissolved in one tablespoon of water. I increased 1/4 cup of applesauce to 1/2 cup of applesauce. *Original recipe is Loaf of my Life from Looneyspoons Cookbook by Janet and Greta Podleski which was modified by me.

One Last Note...

The rule of thumb for replacing sugar for Stevia Powder Concentrate in a recipe is 1/2 teaspoon of Stevia for 1 cup of sugar. You can adjust the amount of Stevia used to suit your own taste buds.
