Is a banana good for a diabetic?

For most people with diabetes, fruits (including bananas) are a healthy choice. Although, if you're following a low carb diet to manage your diabetes, even a small banana contains around 22 grams of carbs, which may be too much for your eating plan.

Can banana replace sugar?

Fruit can add a little fiber, along with varying vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. Ripe mashed banana is an easy substitute and can replace some of the fat in a recipe while allowing you to reduce the sugar in the recipe by 1 tablespoon for every 2 tablespoons of mashed ripe banana used.

Is stevia safe for baking?

Stevia-based sweeteners are suitable for baking; however, they can't replace sugar cup for cup in recipes. It's best to leave at least 1/4 cup of sugar in the recipe to help with browning and provide texture. You likely will need to use a lower baking temperature and increase the baking time.

What is the safest non sugar sweetener?

The best and safest sugar substitutes are erythritol, xylitol, stevia leaf extracts, and neotame—with some caveats: Erythritol: Large amounts (more than about 40 or 50 grams or 10 or 12 teaspoons) of this sugar alcohol sometimes cause nausea, but smaller amounts are fine.
