Banana Bread - Medium Carb

2 Slices Per Serving

I don't do this kind of calculating on a daily basis but every now and then particularly on treats its a good idea to know how many carbs you are adding to your day by indulging.  This recipe is low in most respects, no flour, no sugar. Made with coconut and almond flours. But we added 2 bananas. You could use banana extract but that stuff makes me gag. I'd rather have a few more carbs and real banana taste.  

1 medium banana (7 inches to 7¾ inches long): 24 grams effective (net) carbohydrate plus 3 grams fiber and 105 calories. So this recipe makes 4 mini loafs of banana bread. If each loaf yields 4 thick servings. Subtract the 3 grams of fiber from the 24 grams = 21 + 21 (for using two bananas) = 42 divided between 16 servings = 2.625 per serving for just the bananas. A fourth of a loaf is actually two nice slices so you could just have 1/8th and it would still be a nice treat.
 Cream the following with a mixer
1 cup butter
1 package cream cheese 
2 Cup of Splenda Granular
10 Eggs
2 tsp of vanilla extract
2 bananas 
 Add to the creamy mixture beat till smooth
2 cups Almond flour 
1 cup Coconut Fine Grated (not the powder)
2 tsp Baking Powder
Fold in the nuts 
2/3 cup of Walnuts

4 Mini Loaf Pans

Cook at 350 for 20 - 30 min 

Here's the carb break down 
1 cup butter
1 package cream cheese  (16 carbs)
2 Cup of Splenda Granular 2 cup = 48 gm carb = 96 calories You might want to get the liquid splenda the carbs are in the maltodextrin that makes it measure like sugar. Sweetzfreeze or liquid splenda is available I've put the link on the product name. I have not bought any yet - its on my list.




10 Eggs (Each egg is 0.3 grams so 10 would be 3 carbs
2 bannas = 42 carbs
2 tsp of vanilla extract
2 cups Almond flour  1cup =(1 cup or 90g) = Carbs 22.0 grams -Fiber 13.0 =  9.0x 2 cups = 18 carbs
1 cup Coconut flour   1cup = 80 carbs -48 fiber = 32 carbs
2 tsp Baking Powder
2/3 cup of Walnuts  = 3.2 carbs

Total Recipe has 162.2 carbs divided by the 16 servings  = 10.13 carbs per 1/4th a mini loaf.
A little high places that we could save some carbs would be to only use one banana or no bannas an use banana extract. Use the Sweetzfreeze liquid splenda and save 48 carbs

Just as a sweet cake bread with out bananas this would be 42 less carbs for the whole recipe
I ate one serving and it was delicious but I probably now that I see the numbers would have been happy with a half serving.
