Stevia Recipes

Here's some recipes I've developed to use Stevia-- a natural sugar substitute that has no side effects. I used the powdered green Stevia available.  You don't notice the color, and you have the whole product. It tastes great.

I also use ancient grain wheat. That is wheat that has not been compromised by genetic modification.  Studies show that ancient grain wheat does not spike the glucose levels in the body and does not come with side effects such as Crohns.  I have summarized the book Wheat Belly, which discusses the toxic nature of genetically modified wheat.

Here are some places you can buy the ancient non-toxic wheat:

• Sunrise Flour Mill, North Branch, MN, sells ancient grain wheat, you can have it shipped. 
• City Center Coop in Cambridge, MN (they sell all three Sunrise Mill wheat varieties)
• Seward Coops, MN - only sells refined variety.
• Lakewinds Coops, MN - not sure which varieties each location sells.
• Heritage Breads, St. Louis Park, MN - delicious ancient grain wheat bread and desserts, and 2.5# whole wheat flour

BANANA BARS

• 3 cups whole wheat ancient grain flour

• 1-2 T. Green powdered stevia (depending on your taste, 2T was a bit sweet for me)
• 1 tsp salt
• 3 whole bananas
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 cup butter
• 4 eggs
• 2/3 cups milk or soymilk

Pour into a greased flat pan, about 15 x 12, and cook for about half an hour, on about 325.
