What is the best sugar substitute in terms of maintaing taste and texture. Also, what are the health benefits and if possible low calorie. For example coconut sugar is not low calorie but is low glycemic index (I think) while agave is low or no calorie with a high glycemic index. So what's better?
I will be using spelt flour for this baking. Not sure if that makes a difference.

I like to use a combination of a little coconut or maple sugar, mixed with stevia.

Is it an exact 1:1 substitute.

Just sharing but I'm not expert in this, not sure if this is helpful, but
Depends on nutritional goal, ie for low-carb/low cal, erythritol or stevia might work, but some people don't like taste.
Coconut sugar, date syrup(silan) or maple syrup are lower in fructose which is better perhaps for less fake-sugar effect, & is better for insulin sensitivity. Maple might be strongest taste of those 3, but these will probably maintain more sugar like effect for baking.

Powdered Swerve tastes better than granular.
