Lower Sugar Recipe Swaps
How to Make this Recipe Lower in Sugar
Swapping in Betty Crocker’s new Lower Sugar Baking Mixes is an easy way to reduce the sugar in this classic quick bread. You can enjoy the same great taste and same ease of prep. Read below for the simple steps.
Prepare the Batter
Swap Betty Crocker™ Lower Sugar Yellow Cake Mix for the original cake mix. Stir together with vegetable oil, eggs, and mashed ripe bananas. Stir in 1/2 cup chocolate chips and divide batter between 2 loaf pans.
Bake and Cool
Bake about 43 minutes. The loaves are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Make sure to wait 10 minutes before loosening and removing loaves from pans. The loaves need to cool on a cooling rack for about an hour and a half before slicing.
Enjoy a Lower Sugar Treat
Replacing the original cake mix with Betty’s new lower sugar product and halving the amount of added chocolate chips reduces the total grams of sugar per serving from 12 grams to 9 grams without sacrificing the indulgence.
