My house now officially has the stomach flu...well, Autumn does but it won't be long until the rest of us get it too. :( Ayala isn't feeling too good either but doesn't have the flu. Next door has it really bad. So with all the sickness coming and going all the time, it is a good idea to stay away from sugar. I was in the mood to make some banana bread today that everybody could eat, whether they are sick or not, so I searched around and found a recipe and added a few things to it. I made it and it turned out really good! Everybody loves it!!! (that's what counts)
Here is the recipe I used...
~Sugarless Banana Bread~ Makes 1 loaf
2c. flour
1tsp. baking soda
1tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
2 ripe bananas
1 (6oz.) can frozen orange or apple juice concentrate (I used apple)
2 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup nuts
Stir together first six ingredients in bowl. In a different bowl, mash bananas then add next three ingredients. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients along with the raisins and nuts. Mix until just blended. Spoon into a greased 9x4 inch loaf pan and bake in 350 degree oven for 35-40 minutes.
Note: you can take out the nuts, raisins, and any of the spices if you prefer. It is all a matter of preference.
This is how my loaf turned out!
Enjoy!!! :)
Today we went on a little adventure out on a frozen pond near our house. It was fun sliding on the ice but not too fun when you are freezing cold!!! :( Everybody else seemed to be fine with the weather. Anyway, I managed to snap a few pictures before I lost feeling in my fingers.
