I hope it's low sugar enough for you - I guess you could use all Splenda if you like. As you might be able to tell from that butterscotch sauce recipe, diabetic friendly is not exactly my forte


Banana bread!
It's low sugar and also milk free.

1/2 cup Splenda
1/2 cup sugar (or use all sugar)
1/3 cup margarine
2 eggs
3-4 medium bananas, mashed up
1/3 cup water
1 2/3 cup flour (self rising)
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease the bottom only of a loaf pan.

Blend the sugar/Splenda and margarine till well mixed. Stir in eggs till well blended. Add mashed bananas and water. Beat about a minute. Stir in the flour and nuts and mix JUST TILL MOISTENED. Pour in a 9" loaf pan and bake about 50 minutes to 60 minutes. (I test the center with a toothpick method)

8" pans take 65-75 minutes.
