Low Sugar Banana Bread

Submitted by chef515

"Don't let the fact that there is only 1 tablespoon of sugar fool you! This banana bread is super moist and has just the right amount of sweetness. Use very very ripe bananas for best results."

I had been looking everywhere for a lower sugar recipe and all the others that claim to be low sugar just replace white sugar w/ some other sugar like honey or syrup. THANK YOU. This recipe has become my template for making other low-sugar breads too!

I was at first a bit skeptical. But i am really working hard on cutting down on sugar and came across this recipe. Yes it is not overwhelming sweet, but its pleasantly sweet, enough to satisfy your sugar cravings :) Instead of the Teaspoon full of sugar I used 25 grams raw brown organic sugar and a bit of Vanilla. I absolutely love this recipe. Thank you.

This is a great recipe if you want plain flavorless white bread. And yes, I used very very ripe bananas. Super disappointed!
