Description: 

Treat yourself to a slice of warm, super-moist and buttery banana bread without worrying about the sugar content. Here's a recipe for a diabetic version of the classic banana bread.

Ingredients: 

2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup honey-crunch wheat germ
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup rolled oats, uncooked
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup egg substitute, thawed
1/3 cup walnuts, chopped
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 sticks butter
1 1/2 cup mashed bananas
1 can frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed

Directions: 

Preheat oven to 350 deg F.

Grease a loaf pan.

Combine the flour, wheat germ, baking soda, oats, brown sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Cut the butter into small pieces and add to the flour mixture. Using your hands, rub the butter so that the mixture resembles bread crumbs.

Stir in the bananas, apple juice concentrate, egg substitute, walnuts, and vanilla into the flour mixture. Make sure you stir the mixture lightly.

Transfer the batter into the pan.

Bake for 1 hour. Cool the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes before turning the bread out.

Tips: 

For best results, use over-ripe bananas for this recipe.
