My stepdad (a Type 2 diabetic) has a massive sweet tooth when it comes to fruit - especially bananas. Banana bread is one of his favourite snacks, but traditional sugar-free recipes can be so dry that it's not worth it to him to bother. Read more This recipe combines Splenda, honey and Demerara sugar with roasted bananas and ricotta for a ton of moisture, while low-carb chickpea and almond flours help balance the carb load in the batter. This freezes really well, even pre-sliced and wrapped in plastic for lunches! See less
