    This was very moist bread. I put in 1/4 cup margarine and 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce, and 1 tsp. cinnamon. It was good with a slight sweetness to it. - 2/25/10

    I think a banana bread lover might find the taste a little odd. But, I LIKED it. - 8/26/13

    YUM! I left out the honey & it was still really sweet. It makes a big loaf (took over an hour & the edges got dark) May work well breaking it up in two muffin pans, or 2 smaller loaf pans.
    Delicious!     - 2/3/10

    VERY good. I have made many all purpose banana breads and this beats them all. It was actually very sweet too. I might have put too much honey :) I use 1/2 cup applesauce, 1/4 butter, 1 egg. - 2/18/09

    Yum! Only had 2 bananas, so I added about a 1/2 cup each lowfat vanilla yogurt and applesauce, an extra 1/2 cup or so of flour, & 1/2 cup pecans. I made 6 muffins and 1 loaf of bread from it. Really moist for whole wheat! Next time I'll add some spices (cinnamon, ginger...mmm:) - 1/18/09

    This was a fantastic recipe! I did alter it a bit. Instead of two eggs I used 1/4c egg start and 1/4c applesauce. Instead of 1/2c butter I used 1/4c Smart Balance and 1/4c olive oil. I used 5 bananas and instead of salt I used potassium substitute. I also added a pinch of cinnamon. Fantastic recipe! - 1/18/09

    This was really good! We added 1/2 cup chopped pecans. Next time, I'll make it in two loaf pans...it took FOREVER to bake and the edges were a little too well done. The inside was WONDERFUL, though! - 1/4/09

    Couldn't find my usual recipe, so tried this one. Subtracted a 1/4 cup flour for ground flax seed. Used 1/4 butter and 1/4 canola oil. Added 2 Tbls. liquid. Really good Thanks. - 12/7/08
