Banana Bread - Sugar vs No Calorie Sweetener

[image error]
Today I made 8 loaves of Banana Bread to take to our Veteran Housing near my home.  Since I know that there are some of these wonderful men and women who are diabetics I decided to make half using Ideal sweetener instead of sugar.  I followed my recipe for Brown Sugar Banana Nut Bread (found in my cookbook Stir, Laugh, Repeat) and substituted the sugar and brown sugar using Ideal's no calorie "sugar" and brown "sugar." 

Above you will see the finished products.  The bread on the left is made with sugar and brown sugar.  The one on the right is made with Ideal.  The one on the left does have more of a golden brown color and it is a bit moister than the one on the right.  But, not only does the one on the right have no sugar added, it came out with more of a bread texture which great as it is but it is also perfect for slicing, adding a touch of butter and toasting.  As for flavor, I found no difference.  Both breads are delicious.
