Low-Sugar Banana Bread

"I used to make my banana bread with 2 1/2 cups sugar. This recipe has only 1/2 cup sugar. It also uses half whole-wheat flour. It is not as sweet as the banana bread I used to love, and it has a courser texture from the whole-wheat flour. But the family still eats it up like candy. Use white whole wheat flour if you can find it. Also, make sure the bananas are VERY ripe (but not rotten... yuck). Without much sugar, this recipe really relies on very ripe bananas to sweeten it."

  1. I followed the recipe, scaled for one loaf. I must have done something wrong, because mine came out much flatter than it does with my usual recipe and was not fully cooked after 70 minutes. :(
     
  2. Awesome recipe and super moist! I actually added chocolate chips to this to make it more of a special-yet-healthy dessert to my little ones and it was amazing! Thank you!
     
  3. Oooh, this is so good! We definitely did not miss the sugar since this is so full of flavor and goodness. I did add a small amount of chopped walnuts and about 1/4 cup of ground flaxseed. Great recipe. Thanks StillCooking!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm really "Cookingfor7", but just wanted a seperate place to post all my "healthy" and "budget" recipes. I try to keep the sugar to a minimum, and I don't use any artificial sweeteners. Good low-sugar, non-artificially sweetened recipes are hard to find. Hopefully I'll get a good collection here. I expect to post mostly desserts and snacks here. I used Splenda religiously for about 3 years, and then I developed a terrible allergy to it- so I no longer use any artificial sweeteners.
