Peanut Butter Chocolate Banana Bread
My youngest daughter loves to try different flavor combinations with banana bread. In this version, she took our family Banana Bread recipe and substituted peanut butter for half of the butter requirement. Peanut butter is a good butter substitute in baking to help lower the cholesterol. The real reason she made the substitution – is because she loves peanut butter! To top it off, chocolate chips also needed to be added. What could be a better flavor combination than bananas, peanut butter, and chocolate?

Sourdough Banana Diabetic Bread
My doctor recently diagnosed me as a diabetic. Because of this, I’m having to kick my sugar and gluten habit! I have been experimenting with various low gluten flours and sugar substitutes in my baking. I have been amazed at all the different types of flours available that are lower in gluten than regular flour. I have also discovered Xylitol, a wonderful sugar substitute that doesn’t have an after-taste.
Ultimate Banana Bread
This recipe for banana bread fascinated me, as it takes 6 bananas in the recipe. Also the bananas are heated, juiced, and the juice reduced! I had never heard of this technique before, so I just had to give it a try. I very slightly adapted a few instructions in the recipe. It was good, but not my favorite banana bread.
Desserts:
Brennan’s Banana Foster

Banana Cream Pie (Low Fat)
have a wonderful friend who has asked me several times what I have in the house that is sweet to eat, which I usually do have something. Unfortunately, she is diabetic. Her desire for something sweet, gave me the idea to start working on some low fat, ADA compliant recipes. This recipe was the result of trying to stay within the limits of what we all should be eating in the way of fats and sugars while still tasting like a “real” dessert.

This is another childhood treat that will bring back memories. These delicious Banana Boats are like a S’mores, but made with bananas.
