Sugar Free Banana Oatmeal Bread

By: Mymy Suajico-Santiago

 

This is my banana Oatmeal bread recipe. I made this as a good recovery food after my runs since its potassium loaded. I also used splenda granulated sugar to suit a family member who has diabetes. Although, if you can find really sweet and ripe bananas like plantains; its best to do away with the artificial sweetener. In place of butter, I have decided to go for margarine which has less cholesterol.

 

Ingredients:

6 pcs.                  very ripe Bananas, pureed

2/3 cup               melted Margarine

1 cup                   granulated Splenda

2                           Eggs, beaten

2 tsp.                   Vanilla Extract

1 tsp.                   Baking Soda

½ cup                  easy cook Oatmeal

Pinch of salt

3 cups                 All-purpose flour

 

Procedure:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), and butter an 8x8-inch baking pan.

Puree the ripe bananas in a food processor or with a fork until smooth. Pour melted butter into the pureed fruit.

Mix the baking soda and salt. Stir in the Splenda, beaten egg, oatmeal, and vanilla extract. Mix in the flour.

Pour the batter into the pan and bake for at least an hour or until a toothpick tester inserted into the center comes out clean.

Remove from oven and cool on a rack. Remove the banana bread from the pan. Slice and serve, goes best with your early morning coffee.
