I told one of my friends yesterday that I stopped adding any sugar to the Lightly Alcoholic Blooming Tea Punch. She said, that's great because everything we eat and drink now contains sugar!!! That's right!! And it adds up over time.
So I finally tested the banana bread recipe. I brought some with me when I went to the Toastmasters' meeting last week!! Guess what? Everybody asked me the recipe!!! Hahaahahaha!!
In the beginning, everybody was a little bit hesitated because people are health caucious nowadays!!
When I told them I did not add any sugar, they then rushed to the table for a bite!;))
Amanda said, your bread is so soft, full of moisture and tastes soo good. Many breads use a lot of butter to keep the bread moist. Did you add a lot?
I said, Actually I normally cut the butter volume in almost all my recipe. Same with my Banana bread. For this one, I replaced sour cream with Fat Free Yogurt!!
Ah ha!! that's my secrete ingredient!!!Listen, nothing wrong with sour cream, but I love fat free yogurt because it offers me a lot of calcium.
I got this recipe from Martha Stewart and made my own version;)) Hey, nothing can beat the customized bread, right?!!!
Benefits: rich in calcium and fiber, low fat, low cholestrol...and nice aroma!! When I was baking, the aroma from my overn filled out the whole room!!!
Tea pairing: The bread tastes lightly sweet, soft, full of moisture, delicate aroma. Great to pair with Green or Herbal tea

The bread looks fantastic...love the yogurt add/replacement! I have several Stevia products but have never used them, maybe I should give it a go :)
thanks for your comment! I actually use Stevia cautiously...only use the powder version, not the liquid ones. and I also read the label very carefully to make sure no other artificial flavors added, etc...Let me know how it goes my dera! Happy Thanksgiving!!
This looks like a perfect snack before we do a little shopping on Black Friday. I've never used stevia in a bread recipe and am eager to try it. Happy Thanksgiving.
