     I substituted Egg Beaters, but left everything else the same. Delicious!!! - 7/3/14

     @KYLAR_STERN: Yes, your substitutions should work, though they'll be more dense. The instructions should read: Whisk the oil, applesauce, sweetener and eggs together in a large bowl. Stir the bananas and yogurt together in another. Mix 1/3 dry ingredients then 1/2 yogurt into egg mixture (repeat). - 5/18/16

     The directions are slightly confusing where it says to alternately add flour mixture and egg mixture. If you follow the directions as written, you can only add flour mixture "to" the egg mixture. Mine ended up fairly dry and almost chewy. - 7/7/14

     I love making these with bananas that are on their way out! This is a perfect dessert for the holidays and has a great taste. - 7/3/15

     Someone smarter than I at baking, would replacing the 1/2 cup canola oil with 1/4 cup applesauce and 1/4 cup olive oil or butter work out here? And also sour cream for plain Greek Yogurt? - 5/12/14

     I would puree` berries and add them to the top instead of frosting, letting them soak into the cake. - 5/25/21

     Still not a fan of substitute sweeteners - I'd rather use real sugar and eat less of this. Subbed nonfat greek yogurt for sour cream - works just as well seemingly and it's what I had on hand lol - 5/14/21

     Not a lot of taste to it. I did substitute egg beaters for the eggs. Maybe more vanilla next time? - 5/14/21

     Made these for my neighbours as I can't trust myself with these cupcakes (I can't eat just one so therefore I don't have them in the house until I feel confident to not eat them all in one sitting) My neighbours loved them. - 7/3/20
