banana's are not our friends
2 bananas tips you over your sugar intake for one day - as much as I love them - I'm steering clear. 0 -

Ahh, but if you put the 2 bananas in a load of bread and then slice it into 7 and only eat 1 slice a day ... you've only eaten 2/7 of a banana and your sugar intake should still be intact 0 -
I LOVE bananas, and there is no reason to sweat your sugar intake unless you have a specific medical reason to worry about it.
I'd recommend this banana bread recipe: http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/heavenly-healthy-banana-bread-recipe
It works out to around 225 calories for 1/8th of the loaf, which is a pretty substantial slice, just under an inch. I left out the nuts, though, so the calorie count would be a bit higher if you included them. Also, I did add a lot of extra spices to the batter, because I feel like it would be really bland as written. So I'd recommend adding some cinnamon, allspice, cloves, nutmeg, ginger, etc, whatever floats your boat.0 -
My current favourite is
The recipe for the loaf cake as is:
175g ground almonds
2 eggs
Big dollop of honey
125g butter
4 mashed bananas
3 tablespoons of cocoa (I use green and blacks)
1 teaspoon each bicarb and baking powder
85% chocolate chopped into chunks.
Melt the butter and add the honey, eggs and bananas. Stir, then add everything else and give a good old mix until combined. Pour into a loaf tin and bake at 180 for around 40 minutes. That's it!

Great, will try some of them!
I've done Nigella's banana muffins and have calculated the cals/protein/carbs etc, can post the link too if you are interested, they are lovely! (each works out around 180kcal if I remember correctly) But would love a healthier option (maybe less butter, more milk?)0 -

I eat 2 bananas per day and have lost 75 pounds. There is nothing wrong with eating bananas. As long as you log it and have a calorie deficit you will continue to lose weight. By the way, I also eat 2 apples a day sometimes 3! Track your calories!0 -
These are the ones I make:
http://dashingdish.com/recipe/banana-bread-protein-muffins/
They never look at good as the photo, but they taste great! When I make them they come out to about 90 calories per muffin, but that is because of the ingredients I use (my protein that I use has more calories and the past few times I have made them I have used regular sugar as trying to use it up before switching to Stevia). Mine also do not puff up like that, they end up actually deflating a bit. But they taste great!0 -
Will be making these SOON, YUM!!!0

Great recipes!0

I just make mine with healthy substitutes. Instead of making a large loaf I make 8 small loaves and freeze the ones I'm not using. That way a slice is way less. I use wheat flour instead of stripped white flour and stevia instead of sugar. (Note that stevia is way sweeter than sugar so it is not a 1:1 substitute). There are other substitutes you can make, but those are the ones I've made. Tastes the same but way less calories and much healthier for you. You can also use these substitute in zucchini and pumpkin bread.0
