I made Spongebob's original version last night and had it sliced, warmed and slathered with butter for breakfast this morning. I am so pleased with the results of this recipe! YUM! I am eager to try all the variations now. Next I think I will make a savory loaf to use to make garlic bread.

Thank you Spongebob for sharing your recipe. It is sure to become a staple in my household.

Hey, Spongebob,

Did you think this thread would last this long? I have my first pan in the oven--your original recipe from last year. Hope it turns out as good as everyone says!

How are you now?

tyler43836 · 08-25-2004, 12:52 PM

This is the BEST. Just made it again this morning. The variations are practically endless! Thanks Spongebob!
Oh, and thanks to MaryC for the microwave version!

Could liquid splenda be used in place of granular?

Thanks,
Juls

eko42 · 08-27-2004, 04:53 PM

I always use liquid Splenda and it turns out great. It also saves lots of carbs.

2001MaryT · 08-27-2004, 06:13 PM

I use all different flavors of DaVinchi's. The banana flavor is my favorite! Spice Blend and Gingerbread are good too.

I use a cup for a batch and it works fine for me.

I've heard some people say to add to the cooking time as it is more moist (more liquid) but I've never had a problem with that.

Jugo · 08-28-2004, 08:25 AM

Okay just made this... got it out of the oven, put on a plate and nibbled.... all I can say is YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bob yer the best!!!!!

HaleysNana · 08-30-2004, 06:07 AM

Mary - are you saying you use 1 cup of DaVinci's in place of any splenda?

Radmom413 · 08-30-2004, 06:37 AM

OMG! I just made this for the first time, and it is the best bread ever!!! I have made things with flax meal before and even though I tolerated them, wasn't crazy for the flavor. NOT THIS!!

A huge thumbs up! So simple and so good. Anxious to make other variations!

2001MaryT · 08-30-2004, 08:44 AM

Yes, I do use one cup of Davinchi - I imagine you can use a bit less if you prefer. I did read that someone cooks their's longer adding Davinchi as they felt it was too moist. I do it for 35 minutes, just as the recipe says.

Jammer · 09-03-2004, 11:28 AM

I've made the original muffin recipe, and loved that. Can't wait to try this.
BUT. . does this stall anyone? Yes, all the carbs are fiber carbs, but still. . . .

DBrown8614 · 09-05-2004, 09:06 AM

I personally have never stalled from it. However, each person is different

msdewberry · 09-05-2004, 01:56 PM

I just tryed the original recipe and it was awesome. I cut it up into serving size pieces and put them in the freezer for work.
I had to add a bit of bran to make up the 2 cups flax as I ran out of flax and it was still great. I used hazelnut syrup (sf) and a bit of cinnamon and pecans for the nuts.
I will definetly make this again.

MCmom · 09-06-2004, 05:17 AM

"You're welcome!" to those who thanked me for the microwave version. I've found that I need to make a single serving every morning, to stay regular. It's my favorite breakfast. I've recently started making it with 2 TB of SF maple syrup, and it tastes great. I let it cool completely, and top with butter. Yum!

Hi,

Is it possible to omit the nut and up the flaxmeal to 3 cups?

thanks,

cazzie22 · 09-08-2004, 09:47 PM

Ok, I'm going to make this this morning and I am so confused on what variation to use, I decided that I will go ahead and make two loafs one loaf with the original recipe plus a couple of T of strawberry extract, but I am using xylitol for the sugar, and the package says that it has 4g of carb and 4g of sugar alcohols, so I'm just wondering how this would affect the carb count for the bread.

The second loaf I make I am going to minus the davinci's and just the strawberry extract, water, and sugar to make the sweetner.

Could anyone help me out I am just stuck on which variation to use, and I'm having trouble finding nutrional info on fitday for the sugar, I was also wondering if it would be better if I just left the sugar out all together and used davinci in place of it.

I basically just want the variation that would give me the lowest carb counts, and since the xylitol has the 4g carbs and 4g sugar alcohols does it truely make it zero????

cazzie22 · 09-10-2004, 04:50 PM

Well, I went ahead and made the version using spongebob's original recipe, but added a little bit of strawberry extract, and I used xylitol for the sugar.

I used vanilla davinci's for the recipe. I also made the frosting someone else had posted using cream cheese and hazelnut davinci's which was very good.

But the problem I'm having now, is I believe that I am having an allergic reaction to something in the bread. I've never had an allergic reaction before so I'm not sure if my self diagnosis is correct, since I always believed I wasn't allergic to anything. So I'm not going to eat any of the bread today, and see what happens. Hopefully it's not the bread because I really do enjoy it.

MindyK · 09-10-2004, 09:56 PM

My first attempt is in the oven. I couldn't find any flavor but Vanilla SF Da Vinci's, so I used that and ordered the banana (the banana was what I really wanted to try first.) I only sub'd Mac Nut oil for the canola/vegi oil. I'll let you know how it turns out.

MindyK · 09-10-2004, 10:09 PM

Ok... I just tried it (like I was going to wait for it to cool - I don't think so

) anyway, to me, the vanilla was just too bland - and I had added an extra couple of TB's to it. So, I mixed some cinnamon & Splenda and sprinkled that on the bread, and now THAT was great!

Any ideas on how to make the vanilla less bland? Would adding vanilla extract along with the syrup help? I hope that the banana isn't bland - I love banana bread so much and have missed it.

I've tried it... now I can go to bed...

Good night, everybody...
