Heather:
I would like to make your brown sugar banana bread, but I can't have any sugar. Unfortunately, diabetes is rampent in my family and I have been unable to tolerate sugar for 25 years now. Even though I am not yet officially diabetic, I get dizzy if I try to eat something with sugar.
Could I make your banana bread without sugar? I'm not a great cook so I have no idea whether eliminating the sugar would ruin the chemistry of the recipe. Would I need to add something else in place of the sugar, or could I just drop that ingredient from the recipe? I don't mind if the recipe isn't too sweet. I'm used to that. I also don't want to use an artificial sweetener because it irritates my IBS.
Also, if I made the banana bread, would it freeze well?
One last question -- if I just wanted to make one loaf instead of two loaves of the banana bread, could I just cut the recipe's quantities in half?
Thank you in advance for your reply! (I am trying to gain a few pounds because I've dropped to 80 pounds on the low-fat IBS diet and I'm hoping the banana bread might help me put on some weight!)
Regards,
Belinda
