As a part of our Healthy Eating Forum Giveaway, I was sent NuNaturals products to try at home.
NuNaturals is all about healthy supplements and products that replace sugar in a safe an nutritional way. They have flavored liquid stevia products, stevia drops that dissolve and powdered tagatose which is a new naturally-occurring sweetener that does not raise blood sugar levels. It is gluten-free and lactose free. All of the NuNaturals products are made without anything artificial.
My family didn’t notice anything different about this banana bread, which is great! I noticed a difference, but it may be because I was looking for one. It didn’t turn me off of the bread, it just tasted slightly different to me. I substituted sugar with the NuNaturals Tagatose and the vanilla with the NuNaturals Vanilla Stevia.

I actually made my GFCF pumpkin pie with 1/2 tagatose and 1/2 brown sugar. I couldn’t tell a difference at all.
I think I’m sensitive to all fake sugars, seriously. I’ve been working with a stevia/sugar blend the past few days. I didn’t taste it in one cookie, but I do in the other two I made. Weird.
Well it sure does look good. I’ve been using Truvia Baking Blend a lot lately to cut some calories out of my baked goods.
banana nut bread is one of my favs. I want to give this one a try. Looks delish!
