  FANTASTIC! I subbed 1/2 the white sugar for brown sugar, no nutmeg, and added 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1/2 cup chopped pecans. It made 6 jumbo muffins. - 1/30/09

  Great substitutions - and I've never thought to make muffins of this recipe though I see many folks commenting have ;)

  I am on a low carbohydrate diet. Any suggestions around reducing the three bananas? Sugar substitute works and really reduces the carbs. Would a single banana and banana flavouring do the trick? Or would something else have to be added. Tastes great but I can only eat 1/3 slice! - 1/30/09

  I'm not really sure Dametemplar... the bananas really add structure to the bread. You might have to search the web for "low carb banana bread" to find another recipe that would fit your carb needs. Let us know what you find!

  First time baking banana bread and this recipe turned out perfectly! Using Splenda instead of sugar saves about 50-60 calories per serving. Highly recommended! - 10/6/08

  No sugar, used Maple Syrup instead (not much needed with super ripe bananas)
  No eggs
  Added Flax = nice nutty flavor
  Added a little vanilla and cinnamon in addition to the nutmeg
  Fantastic :)

  Perfect! I am so happy to still see some recipes without the sugar substitutes, since I am not a big fan of them. To be healthy I am just careful with how much sugar I consume. Thank you! Amazing bread! - 4/19/11

  Delicious and easy - I did use the half sugar and half brown sugar, added a few drops of vanilla, and topped with nuts - made 12 muffins. Thank you, I will surely add this recipe to my favorites. - 3/8/09

  I wonder why so many recipes on here use white sugar instead of Splenda?? Seems strange on a health site. I can understand it inside women's magazines. - 3/3/09

  Thanks for commenting Ethelmerz :) Not everyone who is interested in health and weight loss finds sugar to be a challenge and some people prefer not to consume any artificial sweeteners... generally I find that if you're a Splenda-fan (I am!) then you can subst. at will! :D

  Delicious. Everyone in my family loved it. However, if you don't like the herby smell of too much nutmeg, it might be good to reduce the amount. Otherwise great recipe. It's a keeper for sure and will make it again. Thank you - 12/13/08

  I like this bread. I made it with 1/2 brown sugar and 1/3 of the flour I used whole grain. The only problem is the calories...it's pretty high. Next time I will use an applesauce recipe to cut some fat. - 9/17/12

  Wonderful! I used Splenda instead of sugar, smart balance for the butter, and replaced half of the flour with white whole wheat flour. I also added a tsp of cinnamon and a tsp of vanilla. I had to cook it in a star shaped pan, because my sister doesn't have a normal one. - 5/15/12

  Very good! I used several of the suggested substitutions (used brown sugar/sugar/Splenda; added vanilla, cinnamon, & flax seed, and substituted part whole wheat flour). It's not the same as the original, but I'll take a flexible recipe any day! - 1/9/11

  Very good and extremely easy to prepare. The Recipe makes one loaf, doubled it to get two loaves. I did add cinn and nutmeg, used 3 large bananas and only 3 eggs. turned out wonderful! My DH isn't one for breads like this, but we've eaten half a loaf already! I'll change Ingred up for variation. - 10/31/10

  OMGoodness.. Delicious! I used Splenda Zero Calorie sugar and cinnamon but I forgot to add vanilla like some of the other posters suggested. I didn't have regular flour so I used Bread Flour (like the kind you'd use for Bread Machines), they came out fabulous. This recipe is a keeper for sure! - 9/1/10

  I thought this bread was very good & easy to make, but I wish it had just a bit more flavor. Next time I will try it with half brown sugar & vanilla, like others recommended. I did add a little cinnamon (not much--I'd add more next time) and some walnuts. - 1/7/10
