Low Carb Banana Recipes

My original recipe uses an apple as the base fruit. This one uses a half of a mashed banana! Yum!!

Low carbohydrate dieting has proved to be a highly effective way to shed pounds. However, many low carbohydrate dieters have trouble maintaining their new weight. Low carbohydrate dieting requires a permanent change in eating habits, such as consuming very small portions of bread, little sugar and even carefully monitoring fruits and vegetables. With all these constraints, it is not surprising that delicious fruit-based breads like banana breads have been, until recently, nearly out of the low carbohydrate picture. In this article, we will discuss how to bake low carbohydrate banana bread.

I found this neat recipe at Spark Recipes that I wanted to tweak for our families dietary needs last week:

S
ince I don't bake often, I like to double recipes and freeze half for another time. I needed to add to the recipe calculator so that I can have an accurate recipe for my food tracker.

Comparing the recipes, Notice that I also added vanilla extract and cinnamon and reduced the amount of chocolate chips by half along with trading the sugar for a smaller amount of xylitol. My family has gotten used to not having things so sweet, the bag of brown xylitol states to use equal amounts of it as you would brown sugar. I used less according to my taste.

My baking time is also less because I use a convection oven, you'll have to watch and test with a toothpick the last 10 minutes or so of cooking time to be on the safe side based on the type of oven you use.

These dense, naturally sweet muffins are a great option for an on-the-go snack or breakfast. Pair them up with yogurt or a smoothie for the perfect morning meal!
