Ingredients
3 eggs
1/3 cup sugar
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/4 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/3 cup almonds, chopped blanched
2 tsp ground cinnamon (less needed
Directions
Beat the eggs and sugar together until thick. Add the oil and
vanilla and mix well. Stir in the flour, baking powder and almonds.
Pour the batter into a lightly oiled and floured 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf
pan just to cover the bottom of the pan.
Sprinkle on the cinnamon. Add another layer of batter and cinnamon.
Continue until all the batter and cinnamon are used.
Bake in 350 F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Bread
will be dense. Remove from the pan and cool on a wire rack. Cut
into 1/2 inch slices when ready to serve. Place each slice on a
lightly oiled baking sheet and toast in a 400 F oven for 5 to 6
minutes. (My note - warm briefly in microwave.)

Weight loss systemsThe Glycaemic Index Diet The gi (or glycaemic index) diet is based around the gi index, a chart showing foods and a score representing the rapidity that the glucose in the food type gets converted to glucose in the dieters system. The believe is that long-acting types of food (ie with a low Gi score), keep you satisfied for a longer period of time and help to cut down on food without feeling you are missing out. It's also extremely effective for sufferers from diabetes, as the low GI types of food are helpful in preventing increases in glucose amount. |
