I was a banana freak growing up and out, and out and out :) I asked Umpa to come up with a recipe to solve the problem for me. She also makes a wonderful banana custard!

I was a freak for banana bread too, Doug!

In fact I loved bananas!
To chase my morning vitamins and meds, I would start each day with a large banana and three vanilla sandwich cookies.
This was about 75 net carbs BEFORE breakfast with it's toast, oatmeal, cereal, etc..
It was ironic I was taking Metformin blood sugar medication just before eating all this SUGAR!

Thinking back, I must have been eating anywhere from 300 to 400 net carbs a day (on some days, even MORE)!!! :o :o :o
It's no wonder I too was growing out, and out, and out. ;D

Thank you Umpa for coming up with something delish to fill the "banana void" in my journey! ;D
What you do today is what matters!

Umpa or anyone else.....help!  I made this early this morning and I flopped it somehow.  After baking and cooling mine was totally crumbles!!  I even checked to make sure I didn't leave out any of the ingredients.  The best part is, it tasted simply delish!!!  My husband thought it was great and added milk to his bowl of crumbles...suggested we replace his oatmeal with this for breakfast!!  He said it makes a great cereal!  LOL

Anyway, I either didn't mix it long enough, bake it long enough, or allow it to cool long enough.  Hmmmm?  Or maybe all 3  ;D
Look out Hawaii, I'm on my way!!

Blinky make sure you use a large loaf pan I made a mistake the first time and the pan was to small and I had to throw it all away .

The next time I made it I cut the recipe in half and made it into 6 cupcakes and they were so very good !!!

 Just wanted to let you know cause the ingriedents to make these goodies are too expensive to mess with  ;D

Okay :)  I'll have to see if I can find some on-line.  I haven't been able to find any at the grocery stores that I frequent.

Hi Binky   Have you looked in Walmart?  You can find it in the spice section where they have the vanilla extract.   Ours runs out sometimes so keep looking...LOL

Suz..... what happened??  LOL  That is a good idea to replace it with the oatmeal... ;)
