Sally Obermeder’s Sugar-Free Banana Bread

1 December, 2018 . 0

Banana bread is a staple in many households, whether it’s for afternoon tea, to pop into the kids’ lunch boxes or for a quick brekky. And with Sally’s sugar-free version, not only does it taste great, it’s also guilt-free.

Ingredients

70 g (½ cup) wholemeal self-raising flour
50 g (½ cup) almond meal
60 g (½ cup) vanilla protein powder
20 g (¼ cup) shredded coconut
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
3 large, overripe bananas (almost black), peeled and mashed
125 ml (½ cup) rice malt syrup
2 tsp vanilla bean paste
2 egg whites
1 banana, extra, to serve
1 tbs honey, to glaze

Method

Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 180C (350F). Grease or spray a 10 x 20 cm (4 x 8 inch) loaf tin with olive oil. Line the tin with baking paper.

Step 2.
In a large bowl, combine the self-raising flour, almond meal, protein powder, coconut and cinnamon. Add the mashed banana, rice malt syrup, vanilla bean paste and egg whites, and mix until just combined.

Step 3.
Spoon the mix into the loaf tin and top with the extra banana, halved lengthways. Bake for 45-50 minutes. If you see that the bread begins to brown too much on the top before it’s cooked through, cover the loaf with foil for the remainder of the cooking time. Brush the top with honey while the loaf is still warm, then allow to cool.
