Sugar free Banana Bread. Not bad!

[justusnak]

So, since I am going to be doing a 3rd Thanksgiving on the Sunday after ours for my Father in-law who is a diabetic, I went in search for the "perfect recipes" for desserts. I found this one for Banana Bread...made it this evening....and...Its pretty good!!!!!
It uses wheat flour instead of white, so it is a better recipe for him...and apple sauce ( unsweetened) instead of sugar.
Here it is......

Sugar free Banana Bread
2C whole wheat flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
4 med. Banana's
1 egg
1/3 C veg oil
1/2 C unsweetened applesauce.

Preheat oven to 350
combine first 4 ingredients, mash your bananas well and add to flour mix. Add rest of ingredients mix well, and "pour" into loaf pan. Bake 40 to 50 minutes. ( Mine only took about 30 minutes.)

I let it cool....some, and the results?? Its pretty good!!! Now I usually like my banana bread warm and soft and almost gooey with butter on it...and sweet. This is NOT like that! LOL It is a firmer bread, not too sweet, but good! I think maybe adding at least one more banana would help. Didn't stop me from inhaling it tho! Go ahead, try it...

I'm really allergic to Splenda. The only thing I can use is saccharin. Any way to make that work?

Im not really sure....I don't use splenda for us, this is holiday baking for the FIL as he is diabetic.
So, the sugar free pumpkin pie is now cooling. Hubby gets to do the taste test once it is cool.

The pie is cool enough to slice.

Hubby said it was good! Well, he didn't actually "say" anything...he was too busy stuffing his pie hole. He did give a thumbs up.
After he finished...he said it was just as good as a "regular" pie. Whew! So, now on to my regularly scheduled baking... Pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, banana bread, chocolate chip cookies, sugar cookies, oatmeal cookies, buckeyes, and a cherry pie! MY FAVORITE!
