Sugar-Free Baking

Love baking but don't want to use loads of white sugar? We've got 5 healthy alternatives to sugar that will revolutionise your bakes — plus recipe ideas to try!

1

Mashed Bananas

Fruit is nature's sweet treat. So, use ripe banana mash as a wholesome, all-natural alternative to refined sugar. And your bakes will also taste so good!

Lemon Banana Muffins

You won't believe these brilliant lemony muffins are made without an ounce of white sugar, just blended bananas. Tip in some chia seeds for a nice crunch!

Dates

Dried dates are a concentrate of sweetness. But because they have lots of fibres, they don't spike blood sugars. Blend them into a paste and use them in your bakes!
