| As far as low gi banana bread recipes go, this one is | | | | 4 egg whites |
| my favorite. It is the perfect snack for those early | | | | 1 tsp vanilla |
| evening cravings and it also goes great with a cup of | | | | 3/4 cup chopped walnuts |
| tea or a cold glass of milk. You can spread a slice | | | | Directions |
| with a small amount of non-hydrogenated margarine, | | | | Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray loaf pan with |
| but I find a warm slice of this bread is excellent on | | | | non-stick spray. Measure 1 tbsp lemon juice (freshly |
| its own. | | | | squeezed is best) into a measuring cup and pour in |
| Ingredients | | | | skim milk for a total of one cup. Do not stir. Allow to |
| 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour | | | | sit for 5 minutes. Alternatively, you can simply use 1 |
| 3/4 cup ground flaxseed | | | | cup of buttermilk if you have this ingredient on hand. |
| 2 tsp baking powder | | | | In a large bowl, blend flour, flaxseed, baking powder, |
| 1 tsp baking soda | | | | baking soda, cinnamon and salt and set aside. |
| 1 tsp cinnamon | | | | Beat egg whites and sugar. Add bananas and vanilla |
| 1/2 tsp salt | | | | and beat lightly. |
| 3 very ripe, medium bananas, mashed | | | | Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and combine |
| 6 tbsp SPLENDA® brown sugar blend | | | | until well mixed. Add walnuts and stir until combined. |
| 3/4 tbsp lemon juice plus enough skim milk to make | | | | Pour mixture into loaf pan and bake 40 to 50 |
| 3/4 cup (or use 3/4 cup buttermilk) | | | | minutes. |
