    Great! Used nonfat yogurt instead of the egg white and substituted whole wheat flour. Sprinkled roasted sunflower seeds on top for a little crunch. - 3/19/10

    Used Splenda instead of sugar, and found out you can only replace 1/3 to 1/2 of the flour with whole wheat flour, otherwise your bread dosen't rise :) It was good anyway! - 11/23/09

    It was a good recipe, except the bread was not very flavorful. Tasted more like Soda-bread, than Banana Bread.

    I would definitively reccomend adding 2 bananas and some more vanilla or cinnamon.

    This recipe was easy to make and tastes great. I put it in two small pans, one for me and one for my husband. I added a few nuts in his. I am making my second batch now and it smells great. - 5/16/10

    This was a good recipe! I'm always looking for ways to cut down oil and sugar and this one was still good. I used 1c. WW pastry flour and 1/2 C white. Also added about 1/2 c golden raisins. It didn't rise too tall, but was still tasty. Will make it again! Makes 1 big loaf. - 12/4/10

    LOVE THIS RECIPE! I like to use extra banana so I have to add more baking soda and baking powder. If you aren't worried about using the yolk, leave one yolk as well. I have used this basic recipe but then added all kinds of twists to make it "tropical" banana bread or other fun ideas. - 4/13/10

    Great recipe I only use 1/2 C sugar or I use Splenda blend and only about 1/3 C I add more cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg also, this time I added oats and brown sugar on the top for a different effect. I love this recipe and have done it many times I cannot eat fat so it is perfect! - 8/6/13

    I used natural yogurt instead of applesauce (because I have not found applesauce in Norway yet), 1/2 cup of sugar, and a little less than 1/4 cup of butter. 1/2 c. was oats, and the other 1c was flour. It's baking now. The consistency looks good and the batter tasted nice. Let's see how it goes! - 9/23/12

    Very tasty! I was out of applesauce, so I had to use oil and it was still a little dry. Maybe because I used half whole wheat flour. Will probably use a little more banana next time to help up the moisture. - 9/19/11

    I have made this bread twice. It has a great taste but is very heavy. What can be happening? I do love that it is lower in calories. - 8/5/11

    This recipe was GREAT!! I used 1/2 and 1/2 ww and app flour and cut the sugar to 1/2 cup. Next time, I am going to cut the sugar to 1/3 cup. Was still abit too sweet for me. I made them into 24 mini muffins for my family for quick snacks. Great, quick and easy recipe to use up the last 3 bananas!! - 7/11/11

    Tasted ok; I think great or excellent is a bit much. However, I think I may have been slightly disappointed by the texture. Definitely a healthy alternative. - 7/7/11

    To those that have already made it, how much does one serving weigh when there are 20 servings per loaf? I'm sure I'd eat too much if I baked it, but recipe sounds great. I probably wouldn't add so much sugar though. - 7/27/10

    Thanks CALICAT1977 for receipe. For those that have wheat allergies I used Spelt Flour and added 1/4 c Flaxseed meal, also added 1/2 c waltnuts and brown sugar. Mix all dry ingredients including the sugar & cinnamon. Beat egg whites, and combine with bananas, applesauce, and vanilla. Great!!! - 6/8/10

    This recipe was delicious! I used sugar- I know, not the healthiest option and it increases the calorie count, but it's what I had on hand. It's still healthier than most banana breads I've made, and everyone loved it! - 10/11/09
