Ingredients

Bread:

  • 1 teaspoon unsalted butter softened, or nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 cup cake flour
  • ¾ cup low carb baking mix
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • cup organic "raw" honey processed honey can be used, but the flavor won't be as prominent
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup mashed bananas about 2 medium-sized bananas
  • 2 egg whites lightly beaten
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries coarsely chopped

Glaze:

  • ½ cup confectioner's sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk more if a thinner consistency is desired

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Use 1 teaspoon butter or cooking spray to lightly grease an 8-inch x 8-inch cake pan.
  • In a medium bowl, add flour, baking mix, and baking powder. Whisk to combine, then set aside.
  • In large bowl of an electric hand or stand mixer, beat honey and butter on medium speed until creamy. Add bananas and egg whites; mix until blended, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Add flour mixture; mix until blended, scraping down sides of bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Use a mixing spatula to fold in the cranberries, then spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  • Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out dry or with just a few crumbs attached. Remove pan from oven and transfer to a wire rack. All the cake to cool completely.
  • If desired, mix the glaze by combining the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl; use a spoon to stir until combined. Drizzle glaze over the cooled bread, or use a spatula to spread an even layer across the surface of the cake.

Notes

If you'd like to use all-purpose flour for this recipe, use 1 3/4 cups instead of the cake flour and low carb baking mix
