I have recently started a low-carb / dirty Keto diet, after my husband's diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes. We are both doing really well on it, lost lots of weight, and are feeling much healthier (doing a lot more exercise too), but we have really missed baked goods. So I've started experimenting, and I'd like to share my recipes here.
So, my first recipe is banana bread, with only 10g net carbs per slice - my daughter has actually been doing the baking of this one, and we have been through quite a few loaves which tasted good, but just weren't quite there. Well, I believe today we have cracked it! We do use Vital Wheat Gluten though, so if you gave a gluten intolerance or sensitivity, this recipe definitely won't be suitable for you.
