This Sugar-Free Cinnamon Swirl Banana Bread brings together three ripe bananas, warming cinnamon and nutmeg, and a buttery cinnamon ribbon that runs through every slice, finished with a silky cream cheese and Greek yoghurt frosting. And it’s made with zero added sucrose!
Whole Earth Allulose replaces traditional sugar without compromising on the things that make banana bread so good. It caramelises, bakes and tastes just like regular sugar, while keeping the recipe lower in calories. Paired with Greek yoghurt, ripe bananas and plenty of warming spice, it’s a more nourishing take on the classic sweet loaf – the kind you can happily bake for the week ahead, serve with afternoon tea or enjoy when a cinnamon-scroll craving strikes.
Created by Clinical Nutritionist Malissa Fedele, it’s proof that wholesome baking doesn’t have to mean choosing between feeling good and eating something delicious.
