Not Too Sweet Banana Bread


I adapted the recipe Banana Bread V http://allrecipes.com/recipe/banana-bread-v/ and made it more IBS friendly. I omitted the refined sugar and nuts ( I just don't like nuts in banana bread) and added vanilla.
This version does not use much sugar. If you want a more true tasting banana bread I suggest adding 1/2 cup brown sugar. Sometimes I make a cinnamon maple butter ( vegan margarine, maple syrup and cinnamon) to go along with the bread when i want a piece a little sweeter. The bread is also great for making french toast!
