sure, its a little expensive to make because of the almond flour - takes a lot of almonds to make this much flour, but it is so worth it. I made 2 loaves when I made it, and shared with some NON low carb friends, and they loved it. Also, I must note its not my recipe, I was fortunate to find it here in this forum. Here it goes:

Banana Sour Cream Bread

1/3 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup full-fat cream cheese
4 eggs, room temperature
3/4 cup pourable (granulated) Splenda
2 teaspoons Brown Sugar Twin
1 3/4 cups almond flour
1/4 cup Vital Wheat Gluten flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 2.5 oz jar Gerber Banana Baby Food
1/4 cup sour cream
20 drops liquid sweetener
1 teaspoon banana flavor extract

Preheat oven to 325?F.

Cream butter, cream cheese pourable Splenda and Brown Sugar Twin well. Add
eggs - one at a time - beating well after each. Set aside.

In separate large bowl, blend almond flour, Vital Wheat Gluten flour, baking
powder, and salt.

In small bowl mix baby food, sour cream, liquid sweetener (I use liquid
Splenda, but you can use Sweet N Low or Cyclamate sweetener if you like),
and banana extract. Add to butter/cream cheese mixture and beat well.

Mix wet and dry ingredients with large spoon or mixer until fully
incorporated. Pour into greased 9 x 5 inch loaf pan and bake for
approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes (oven times may vary a bit.)

45 grams of carbs in entire recipe.
Makes 12 slices: 3.75 carbs per slice.

[optional:] Like a sugary topping? For an extra few grams for the loaf
(almost doesn't change the amount per slice), sprinkle a bit of Diabetisweet
over the top of the bread in its last 20 minutes of baking.

Walnuts or pecans can be added to this recipe as well. About 1/2 cup broken
nut pieces added just before adding to loaf pan to bake works nicely.

Note: I used a small banana and pureed it myself, and also added a few
pecans. The bread was really moist and had a lot of flavour
.


PS - have you started a journal yet? I would recommend it, you will get lots of support and ideas from other low carbers, you start your journal under the "My low carb journal/ low carb boot camp thread.

Enjoy the bread, its yummy!
