    I made this recipe but used 4 slightly-heaping scoops (as suggested by previous poster) of soy protein - the vanilla flavor and 3 1/2 bananas. Recipe came out very good but I think next time I would add a little more buttermilk and a little more vanilla extract. - 4/12/08

    WOW! These were sooo good! I used the Spelnda brown sugar blend and vanilla soy protein powder and I added about 1/3 cup chopped walnuts into the mix. They were a huge hit! Definitely will make over and over again, I made them as muffins and they were so moist, I'll make bread nex ttime - 3/9/08

    This turned out great. I added 4 scoops (a bit more than 1cup) of whey protein instead of soy and didnt add gluten. Also substituted soy yogurt for buttermilk and smart balance buttery spread for vegetable oil. - 11/17/07

    I just made this recipe. I didn't have wheat gluten, so I subbed oatmeal instead. It hasn't finished baking, but the batter is incredible. :) It freezes well, too. I just thaw one slice at a time as I want it. :) - 6/20/07
