Low Fat Banana Bread

So I've been on a journey with medical appointments and such over the past 2 months.  I've a need to bake when I get stressed, so in line with that  found this great Banana Bread recipe from the Best Recipes website.  The recipe can be found here and I will include it at the bottom of this post too. A big thank you to "marie" on Best Recipes for sharing this one.

I had bought about 3 kilos of very ripe banana's from the supermarket the day after I found this recipe with the intention of making a banana bread...or making millions of smoothies! Anyway, I used 3 of the 15 banana's to make the bread.  I was a bit dubious about the taste as I found the mixture rather dry to begin with, but then remembered I hadn't actually added the bananas!

It smelt rather tasty while baking and had me salivating the 40 minutes it takes to bake...well it took a little longer than that.  I had to try a piece while it was still warm from the oven, and I have to say, it really was yummy! Moist and flavourful.  I had added a half cup of walnuts to the mix as well.  I will definitely be making this again.  I sliced the loaf up once it had cooled completely, and froze it in individual slices, so that I can have a piece whenever I choose.

2 cup self raising flour

1/2 cup Splenda artificial sweetener - I used Hermesetas

2 eggs, lightly beaten

1/4 cup milk - I used Semi-Skim

2 tablespoons butter, melted - I used the heating up oven to do this.

3 tablespoons golden syrup

3 bananas, mashed

Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.

Place flour and sweetener in a large bowl.

Combine eggs, milk, butter and syrup in another bowl.

Add egg mixture and banana to the flour and mix well.

Pour mixture into a loaf tin lined with baking paper and bake for approximately 40 minutes.

As an added extra you could add in 1/2 cup of walnuts or oats.
