the swaps that make it work
All-purpose flour + no whole grains
→ Whole wheat pastry flour + rolled oats
Adds fiber and steady energy; whole grains support blood sugar stability and sustained satiety.
3/4 cup granulated sugar
→ 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
Reduces refined sugar by two-thirds while retaining moisture; honey and maple have a lower glycemic impact and pair naturally with banana and miso.
1/2 cup (115g) butter
→ 6 tbsp (85g) butter
Cuts saturated fat without compromising tender crumb; the banana adds natural moisture.
