Reduced-Sugar Banana Bread Recipe with Truvia Natural Sweetener #Ad

by 1 Comment

I’m a Truvia Brand Ambassador and compensated for my time this recipe and photo is from their website you can find many great Truvia inspired recipes there.

I have a few bananas here that are about to go bad which is why I made the smoothie a few days ago. The kids haven’t show much interest in eating them lately so I think it’s time to throw them into some banana bread. That or maybe I could make some cream cheese banana goodness. I think I’ll start with banana bread and then try some cream cheese mixture. I found this Reduced-Sugar Banana Bread recipe at Truvia.com. It’s a moist and delicious classic for the entire family! This reduced-sugar banana bread contains 20% fewer calories and 60% less sugar than the full-sugar version.

While searching for a recipe, I found a recipe on Crisco.com for Peanut Butter Banana Bread and we gave it a try. I loved it, DH said no, kids agreed with me. Here is the recipe we used

Truly Organic Baking’s Bakers Basics Banana Bread Mix Recipe

It doesn’t have to be 100% homemade to be good for you. My personal recipes each week are homemade; I love to make things “from the scratch store” as my 4YO would say. However, even if you also like to make homemade goods sometimes you need to make something but don’t have the time to invest. Just because something is semi-homemade or you use a box doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your food values. Using Truly Organic Baking’s Bakers Basics is one option.
