Banana bread recipe

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!!! :)
