Sour Cream Banana Nut Bread

Sour Cream Banana Nut Bread
There are few foods more comforting and satisfying than banana bread. My earliest recipe was inspired by the one on the Crisco Oil website. That recipe uses Crisco oil, but over the years and many adaptations later, I've managed to come up with one that is diabetic-friendly. 'Is bedder wid budder!' my nephew would say which is true in this case, so that was a major shift. White sugar was replaced with coconut sugar which has a much lower GI (Glycemic Index). 

The Glycemic Index (GI) is a relative ranking of carbohydrate in foods according to how they affect blood glucose levels. GI of white sugar is 68 (medium) compared to 35 for coconut sugar (low) making the latter diabetic-friendly.
