Coconut Sugar – A Great Way to Make Banana Bread

Coconut sugar is a nutritious and delicious alternative to cane sugar! It is a sustainably sourced and harvested natural sweetener. Coconut sugar is also a low GI food which means that you won’t get any of the ‘highs’ and ‘lows’ associated with commercial sugars.

Coconut sugar has no artificial additives and is 100% pure coconut sugar.
