Hi, I'm not really a regular, but since I couldn't find any e.z.
(basic) recipe online for use of barley malt syrup in a cake recipe, I
devised one, and it isn't all that bad for someone who prefers
"not-too-sweet".

The texture is lite, a bit like honey cake - and when I eat it I feel
as if its nutritive/filling properties should "stick in there" &
recharge me for awhile.

Anyway, I decided to post it, for the record. Just don't murder me if
ya don't like it! Not everyone has a not-too-sweet-tooth...

Recipe:
"Not-too-sweet" Banana Cake/Bars (with barley malt & stevia):

1/3 c. oil (a bit more)
1/3 c. barley malt syrup (a bit more)
4 [one-gram] packets stevia
4 small ripe bananas mashed (hey, would this work w/applesauce too??
2 large eggs
3 c. flour (of which approx. 1/4 c. is whole wheat flour)
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt (can be less to suit you)

Mix.
Spread batter in 9 x 13 pan.
Stick 42 chocolate bits inside.
Place the choco bits evenly in array of:
6 choco-bits width / 7 choco-bits length

This small amount of choco-bits seems to work the trick to add the
"missing" flavoring, while keeping it pretty healthy & not too
irritating.

Bake in 375 degree oven - 20 min.
