Preheat oven to 350.  Grease a 9x4 bread loaf pan or line muffin pan with cupcake liners.  You can also make two 8.5x4.5 loaves from the mix and reduce baking time.

Beat together until fluffy:

1/2 cup softened (not melted) butter and 1 cup sweetener of choice. 

Warm 1/2 cup buttermilk, canned coconut milk or creamy Oat or Silk milk, and add 1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar.   Set aside to rest 3 minutes.

Add to the butter mixture the below:

1/2 cup pumpkin puree or 2 ripe bananas

2 tbsp sugar free pancake syrup,

1 tsp. cinnamon,

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1.5 tsp. banana extract

Beat all together.

In a medium bowl:  whisk 4 eggs together and add to the above.  Also add the rested milk and 1 cup low carb flour to the batter and beat until just combined.  

Sift 2 cups low carb flour into wet batter and fold in until just combined. Optional:  add 1 cup chopped walnuts.

Pour into greased large loaf pan.  Spray tinfoil and cover the bread.  Bake  1 hr. 10  minutes or until middle is set.  Reduce time to 35 minutes for 2 loaf pans.
