Banana Bread
I have to bake for a cookie exchange between all my cousins this week and started experimenting with Splenda.
Oh man, the best so far (even though I can only havea little bite) was the banana bread.
3 bananas mushed in a bowl
2 eggs
1/4 cup of margarine
1 1/2 cup of flour (all whole wheat or 1/2 cup whole wheat/ 1 cup of all purpose)
3/4 cup of splenda
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
mix all together with beater, pour into loaf pan, bake for 1hr at 350 (make sure you check the middle at 1 hr to confirm it is cooked - stick a toothpick into it to see if there is batter still not cooked)
I used the half and half flour mix - it was excellent. So I am making another 8 loaves to give as my cookie exchange - at least I'll have something to munch on when I visit my cousins during the holidays!
Happy baking. Silly.
Great easy recipe. Here's another one, and this is from lowcarbluxury.com, one of my favorite low carb sites.
Dense Spicy
Pumpkin Bread
Ingredients:
3/4 cup vanilla whey protein powder
1/8 cup "Just Whites" (egg white powder)
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground clove
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon mace
1/8 teaspoon ginger
2/3 cup Splenda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 12-ounce can pumpkin
1/4 cup heavy cream
3 large eggs
1/8 cup water
3 Tablespoons light olive oil or sweet almond oil
Preheat oven to 375°F. Oil a Pyrex loaf pan* and set aside.
Mix all dry ingredients in a small bowl. Mix all liquid ingredients (including pumpkin) in large bowl; then add dry ingredients and mix with hand mixer for one minute. Pour into loaf pan and bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes; * or use an 8x8 Pyrex square baking dish and bake for 50-55 minutes. (Heating times vary so test with a toothpick for doneness.)
Allow to cool thoroughly before slicing.
Makes 1 loaf or square snack-cake. Entire loaf is 38 carbs accounting for fiber. Slice into 10 slices for 3.8 carbs each, or 15 slices for 2.5 carbs each.
Enjoy.
