No Sugar Added Banana Bread for the Holidays - 12/08/17 08:39 PM
OK, so the doc says my sugar was a bit high in my recent lab work for my annual physical.
But I'm in the mood for some of momma's holiday banana bread.
So I thinks to myself, self, make it sugar-free.*
Gotta say, I am already addicted.
Ingredients:
Batter going in...
Banana bread coming out...
And ready for coffee...
*Keep in mind that an average banana (7-9 inches) has about 14 grams of sugar. So, adding 4 bananas = 56 grams, and if you get 16 1/2" slices in a loaf, each slice will have about 3.5 grams of natural sugar (from the bananas).
