It’s little secret one of the best things about easter is the treats. Unfortunately, many of our traditional Easter recipes (we’re looking at you, Hot Cross Buns and Choccy Eggs) come packed with a hopping mad amount of sugar.
That's why we’ve been hard at work creating irresistible Easter recipes that taste just like the real deal, but won’t leave you and the kids bouncing off the walls.
Check them out below!
No Added Sugar Hot Cross Buns
Melt in your mouth softness with just the right amount of spice. These hot cross buns are everything a good hot cross bun should be, but with no added sugar in sight! Not a fan of sultanas? Sub in some dark chocolate chunks for extra decadence.
