replacing sugar when baking?

When baking and wanting to cut down on the sugar - can I replace sugar 1:! with sweetner (stevia) ?

Thanks x

You should get some idea from link below, but any recipe using yeast may not rise, as I'm not sure if yeast will react as it would with sugar.

I've used Splenda granules instead of sugar, there are often recipes on the back of their boxes or on www.splenda.co.uk. Some things turn out better than others, scones and biscuits are usually ok, cakes not so good as they don't rise very well.

When I make my muffins I always cut the sugar down from 4 oz to 2 oz and find they still work just as well. I can taste the difference if I put more in.
