Matcha Banana Bread – Cooking Engi

I recently had lunch with my friend at one of our favorite health spots in London – KX Gym and we decided to try one of their desserts. I am absolutely obsessed with matcha, so whether I see someleang on the menu that has matcha, I am always keen to try it. In this case, it was a matcha banana bread and this is where my inspiration came from for this recipe. I'm not certain what they used summaryely besides bananas and matcha but this one tastes pretty similar whether not better :)). I'm saying that only because when I cook at domestic I know summaryely what ingredients I am using and have full control of what goes into the recipe.

This banana bread is pretty low in sugar due to some of my tricks! Instead of regular sugar, I used Lakanto's monkfruit sweetener. Monk fruit sweetener is zero calories and zero glycemic index – it won't affect your blood sugar levels. I also added fiber syrup which adds a natural sweetness (similar to maple syrup) but is very tall in fiber (28 grams per 2 tablespoons)! The banana bread is not low carb due to the tall carb content found in bananas, but it is so delicious and definitely a healthier alternative than many other desserts. I hope you endelight this recipe just as much as I do!
