LOW-SUGAR BANANA BREAD



Low-Sugar Banana Bread image

I used to make my banana bread with 2 1/2 cups sugar. This recipe has only 1/2 cup sugar. It also uses half whole-wheat flour. It is not as sweet as the banana bread I used to love, and it has a courser texture from the whole-wheat flour. But the family still eats it up like candy. Use white whole wheat flour if you can find it. Also, make sure the bananas are VERY ripe (but not rotten... yuck). Without much sugar, this recipe really relies on very ripe bananas to sweeten it.

BANANA BREAD MUFFINS LOW CARB LOW SUGAR



Banana Bread Muffins Low Carb Low Sugar image

I just made these thought I would try something and it turned out good. Even my husband who doesn't have special dietary needs said they tasted good. Even if sugar isn't not a worry for you just swap out the Spenda for regular sugar. I was impressed with the almond flour, I added extra baking soda because all of the reading on almond flour said it does not raise well and my muffins did well.

4 mashed bananas
3/4 cup Splenda sugar substitute
1/3 cup dry milk
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 egg whites

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be. Make sure the bananas have plenty of brown spots on their skin.
  • Mash the bananas well. You want the bananas to be smooth and creamy, with no large chunks. This will help the banana bread to be moist and tender.
  • Use a combination of sugars. This will give your banana bread a more complex flavor. You can use a combination of granulated sugar, brown sugar, and/or coconut sugar.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the banana bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the banana bread at a moderate temperature. This will help to prevent the banana bread from drying out.
  • Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will give the banana bread time to set and develop its full flavor.

Low-sugar banana bread is a delicious and healthy treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to use up ripe bananas, and it's a good source of fiber and potassium. By following the tips in this article, you can make a low-sugar banana bread that is both tasty and nutritious.
