In your controller, you can execute the following method to get the type of user:

 

UserInfo.getUserType();

 for unauthenticated users, this will return the string 'Guest'.

 

There may be other ways to achieve this, but the above is the only one I've been able to find!

I used this as the best answer. I then wrote the following code around it so I could use it in an <aura:if>
  
@AuraEnabled 
    public static Boolean fetchUserType() {
        Boolean isLoggedIn = false;
        String userType = UserInfo.getUserType();
        if (userType != 'Guest') {
            isLoggedIn = true;
        }
        return isLoggedIn;
    }
