Banana bread/cake with pics

[Kim&Leah]

OOOps lol.. I didn't actually mix them that much, I didn't even know egg whites could go stiff haha!!
Oh well, learners have to start somewhere lol!
I'll be attempting number 2 later today!

 

[littledolly]

Could you make this in a loaf tin, to make it more like banana bread??

 

[Kim&Leah]

Should I be greasing the cake tin or not, I'm wondering why it burnt at the bottom??

 

[littledolly]

I'm making it at the moment and wondering about greasing the tin. However, I suspect this would add syns, so I am guessing no?!?

 

[Kim&Leah]

fry light maybe?? I'm about to start it now wish me luck lol

 

[littledolly]

Mine is in the oven - I'll keep you posted!!

Didn't do the frylight, as only reading your post now, so we will see how it turns out.

 

[littledolly]

Oh my goodness, it is yum! I did what you suggested and put tin foil on top after 20 minutes and it has turned out great! I luurrve cinammon so added just over 2 tsp and it is lovely.

Will def be making this again. I was going to post about asking how long it will keep, but somehow I don't think I'm going to need to know that - guess where most of my syns will be going today!

Thanks so much for the recipe debjk!

 

[Kim&Leah]

OH MY GOD - I cannot believe it has just taken me over half an hour to whisk the egg whites hahaha!
Oh deary me - I ended up watching a video on youtube as I didn't think I was doing it right!!
No wonder it didn't work yesterday, I just mixed the whites up with a fork and put them in as you find them lol!!
Oh well, I've learnt now! It's in the oven now!

 

[littledolly]

Well Leah - how did yours go? Mine is proving to be a hit with DH and DD too, so looks like I'll be making it again!

 

[Margery Dawe]

no LOL can you tell I've never made a cake before?! What do you mean by stiff??

That did make me chuckle

How much is a cup?

You could do an apple version, by stewing the apples with sweetener.

 

[Kim&Leah]

BINGOOOO!!
it's lovely!! Didn't rise as well as yours, don't think I did the eggs as much as I should??
Certainly hit my sweet spot though

I actually preferred it cold. Made another one first thing today for our picnic. Went down a treat

 

[Margery Dawe]

YUM, YUM, YUM!!!

 

[vicki_ww]

ohh yumm, sounds delish. ive snuck over from the weightwatchers forum and i think i will try this recipe out looks fabby.

well done that woman!

 

[gonnabesmall]

i made this last week.WHAT A TREAT.just wondered could you do this with carrot and make a carrot cake less syns again?

 

[debjk]

dont see why not but I think it would need something else too or may be a bit bland and dry, Think its the banana that keeps it moist and tasty you could try some lower syn fruits Apple/pineapple/pear keep meaning to try another but keep forgetting have some apples so may try that maybe reduce a couple down with a drop of water and then chop another into small chunks maybe you could add carrot to that and make a carrot and apple cake mmmmmm 28g of apple/pineapple/pear cooked is 0.5 syn
