It wouldn't be fair to rate this recipe because I changed a lot of it...used 4 banans, used only 1/2 c of white flour and added 1/2 c of quick oats, used one egg and 1/2 c low fat sour cream and put in cinnamon. Bread was great..probably needed more time to bake maybe 5-7 longer. I just try to cut down on as much white flour as possible and the oats were really good in it. The best result was that I had it for breakfast and didn't raise my blood sugar any more than any diabetic conscious recipe! -
You call this a recipe for diabetics and yet one serving has 71 grams of carbohydrates, do you even know what diabetes is?

If it is diabetic why is there sugar in it diabetics can eat sugar.

I made this recipe last night, however I did make two slight changes. I thought the two tablespoons of baking powder was a bit much, so I used a teaspoon of baking soda instead (our family handed down thru generations banana bread recipe calls for the teaspoon of baking soda, so I tried it) and it came out fine. I also used canola oil in place of the olive oil. Watch your time baking this though as over-baking can dry it out quickly. Other then that it has a nice flavor and texture. I will definitely make this again. -
Thanks so much for posting this. I was recently diagnosed with diabetes and my wife baked this recipe for me to try. It was excellent and will be on the top of my list of occasional treats. No one would guess that this is diabetic-friendly from the taste. It's just great banana bread!

I substituted 1 cup buckwheat flour and 1 cup almond flour in place of the flours used in the recipe. It cut carbs by 0ver 50%, increased fiber and protein, and is gluten-free. It resulted in a nutty and satisfying banana bread

<p>Hi, I have three grown up kids and 7 grand kids 1 greatgrandchild and an other on the way. I work p/t as a cleaner in a large office, and sometimes I help as tea lady and I do a bit of reception duties not a lot just a bit, I tend to cut people off in error of course. I have a wee dog called Molly, and is so so naughty, but we love her to bits even if she won't do as she is told. She is a cross between a poodle and a jack Russell and is now four years old. I love my garden and growing everything I just have a small plot, so I like things that grow well in pots, and of course cooking. I love all cook books so I cant pick one but I have one that I refer to a lot Delia Smith's complete cookery course, a good all rounder. I have discovered that I am now diabetic and have had to change my eating and cooking habits I now try to go for the healther option rather than all the cream, butter and sugar, and I have lost 32 pounds, and feel so much better. My mum and all her family were diabetic and so far I am the only one of 8 kids to get it, just my luck, but in a way it's a blessing, as I now have a healthy diet not like before stuffing my face with all sorts. my peeves are I don't like cruel or rude people that don't consider other peoples feelings and opinions, manners and a smile don't cost a penny, so why be greedy and not spread a bit of happiness about, I am quite a softy at heart but don't mess with my kids or grand kids I am very protective of them and would do anything for them, as I always tell my grandchildren it's nice to be nice makes you feel good and we all like that, I used to run a bakers shop and the old folks that came in were so lonely sometimes you were the only person that they spoke to in days or weeks so a smile and a friendly wee chat would make there day so if I can make one person smile in a day that would be great and I have brought my kids up to think the same and the grand kids too.I am married to my dear old man for 40 years this may and can't believe where all the years have gone, they do say time passes fast when you are having a good time so I guess I am having a good time DH said I am having a good time when I am telling him what to do, I say I'm just keeping him right so he will be happy well that my story and I am sticking to it. he he he. . <img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg alt= /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/Animation6.gif alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj81/HokiesLady65/Banners/AMBadgeGenTP2009.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><img src=http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa97/angelamtch/1a511f23-1.gif border=0 alt=Photobucket />[/ <br /><br /><img src=http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2/kiwidutch/my3chefs2009final-1.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/ThymeSticker.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/Herb1BaySTKR.jpg alt= /><img src=http://i424.photobucket.com/albums/pp330/LadyBlueNose/Contest%20Banners%20-%20Feb%202010/RSC15Bannersusieb-1-1-1-1.jpg alt= width=300 height=132 /></p>
