Definitely not aspartame, the heat changes its chemical composition.
There are several problems with baking for diabetics. First of all, for good results at least some real sugar is required. You could probably get away with half sugar and half sweetener (or get the ready made mix e.g. Half Spoon). You may be able to get recipes for using it from Silver Spoon.
The major problem is the flour - and there's really nothing you can do about it. The carbohydrates are converted by the digestive system into... wait for it... SUGAR (glucose). 😱
I now only bake when my granddaughter comes round, and then Mummy and Daddy take home all but the tiniest bit. I daren't keep home-made or any other cake in the house. Bread goes in the freezer, in single portions.
