My friend lent me this great book "Sweet and Sugarfree". It uses fruit and fruit juices as sweeteners instead of sugar. We have tried a few things so far and I've been really pleased. The recipes definitely aren't as sweet as your average dessert, but I feel better eating them and the kids love them, so it's great. Today we tried this Carob Bread, yummy!
I've changed a few things from the original recipes, mainly adding more whole grain and different oils.
1/2 c. carob powder
2 eggs
3/4 c. mashed bananas, about 1 large
1/2 c. water
2 T. coconut oil
3 T. canola oil
2 t. vanilla
1/2 c. oat flour
1 1/4 c. white flour
2 t. baking powder
1 t. baking soda
1. In a medium bowl, mix together carob, eggs, and banana.
2. Add water, oils, and vanilla and mix well.
3. Add flours, baking powder and baking soda.
4. Pour into a oiled and floured 9 by 5 inch pan.
5. Bake at 325 for 45 mimutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
6. Cool on a wire rack and slice.
They suggest topping it with cream cheese. We ate it plain. You could top it with fresh fruit or a sugar free jelly. It turned out a little crumbly. Maybe I baked it too long.
