    I make the following low carb (I make them in muffin tins for portion control). The whole family loves them.


    • ⅜ cups Sugar
    • 2 whole Bananas Mashed, Medium Sized
    • ¼ cups Oil
    • 1 whole Egg
    • 1 cup Flour
    • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
    • ½ teaspoons Baking Soda
    • ¼ teaspoons Baking Powder
    • ¼ teaspoons Salt
    • ¼ cups Walnuts, Chopped
    • ¼ cups Chocolate Chips

    Preheat your oven to 325F.
    Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray and set aside.
    Combine all ingredients in one large bowl and mix well. No need to use different bowls for wet and dry ingredients; just toss it all in one!
    Pour the batter into your loaf pan.
    Bake for 45-50 minutes. Watch it so it doesn’t overcook. I started testing at 45 minutes and cooked it about 48 minutes.
    It’s done when a toothpick comes out clean and the top is golden brown. Cool a little if you can stand it! Enjoy, this is yummy!

    This sounds great! How many servings does it make and do you have the nutrition info?

    Totally try spaghetti squash if you like pasta! I just heat the whole squash in the over at 375 for 45min- hr depending on how big the squash is. The slice in half lengthwise and use a fork to scrape the threads out. Just top it or whatever like you would normally.

    This was my dinner tonight :]

    Um, what pipe are you smoking from? Sugar, flour, banana and chocolate chips - there's nothing low carb about this recipe!

    I second the lowcarbdiets.about.com. and here are a few more: buttoni.wordpress.com and mariahealth.blogspot.com and LowCarbFriends.com and GinnysLowCarbKitchen.com and www.healthyIndulgences.net.

    These bloggers are a fantastic site for great recipes. Not only do most of them offer them up for free, when people comment on a recipe, most often the blogger may make an adjustment , so that you know that the recipe is the best one you can make. How many times have you followed a recipe in a cookbook, only to have it come out badly. A recipe offered by a blogger has it all workedout. No errors, no wasted ingredients.

    I'm surprised any cookbooks are even sold anymore, with all this free stuff on the internet.
