Marie of The English Kitchen pointed me to this Diabetes UK recipes website. I found this banana bread recipe they are featuring. Of course I had to convert the measurements to North American standards but I was very happy with the way it turned out. So one slice works out to be 22g of carbohydrate which would be the equivalent of one and a half slices of bread. It may be less as I didn't use nuts. The recipe uses only half a cup of brown sugar and whole wheat flour instead of white flour. It smelled heavenly while baking, sort of like you were in an old baker shop. That is one slice I put on top in the photo. It makes 12 slices, the one loaf.
Here are my converted measurements:
2 large bananas
2 eggs
4 tbs oil
1 tsp vanilla
1/2c brown sugar
1c whole wheat flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
preheat oven to 350F
mash bananas, add eggs. Then add oil, vanilla, sugar. Stir in flour, baking powder, spices. Spoon into loaf pan (I line mine with parchment paper). Bake 50-55 mins.

It looks delicious, must give it a try, thanks for sharing the recipe. Hugs, Valerie
Oh, another recipe to try! Thanks for sharing.
And with whole wheat bread, it's good for you, right? ;-)
Looks so delicious! And the ingredients are simple enough.
Cinnamon is so good for blood sugar. I don't bake in volume because being a baker, I'm a metric user. Far more accurate.
This is soo good Christine , my dad is diabetic. I will make this :)

Looks delicious. I am glad I am not diabetic, though.
