REC: Banana bread

Note: This is not a recipe suitable for people on induction or who have a
super-low daily carb allotment, but it would fit in well for ongoing weight
loss or maintenance.

1/2 cup Splenda
1 tablespoon liquid saccharin or other sweetener (equal to 1/2 cup sugar)
1/4 cup butter, softened
2 eggs
1.5 cups mashed bananas (about 3-4 medium)
1/2 cup water
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/3 cup soy flour
1/3 cup wheat gluten
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Mix sweeteners, butter, eggs, banana, water. Add combined remaining
ingredients. Bake at 350 in greased loaf pan for 30-40 minutes. 24 slices

Per slice (not including nuts): 7g carbs, 1g fiber (6g net carbs), 3g
protein, 63 calories. (Original recipe I adapted this from had 120 calories
and 18g carbs per slice).

Just made this and was pretty happy with the results. Next time I might use
a little less whole wheat flour and a little more wheat gluten

THANK YOU, Reb.

This sounds very delicious to me.
May have to get some of the flours mentioned.
I have not tried baking anything yet -
I have been on Atkins since 1/5/03.
