I never would have believed this was made with all whole wheat flour- it came out so fluffy and moist! I made a few ajdustments: I halved the margarine and added 1/8 cup applesauce, 1 tsp vanilla, 2 tsp cinnamon, and a handful of rolled oats. I will definitely be making this again. - 1/3/08

I love these. I changed margerine to applesauce. I also added the vanilla and cinnamon like others. I also added choc chips (1.5 oz.) It only changed to 115 cal and 1.9 g fat. I will definatley make these again. - 3/28/08

This is a great banana bread. My family loved it too. The only thing was that I put it in for an hour and took it out after 50 minutes and it was already done, a little overcooked. So I would recommend putting it in 40-45 minutes and checking it. Still delicious though! - 8/12/07

I made these as muffins - built in portion control! I made 12 muffins and baked for 23 minutes and they were great! I like things a little sweeter, so next time I am going to add another tbsp of splenda. Great way to use overripe bananas! - 8/19/07

Loved this! I've been meaning to make banana bread for a while- I think I was unconsciously waiting for this recipe! I also 1/2d the margarine (actually used butter) and added 1/8 c of applesauce, plus 1/2 c of milk chocolate chips. Also, I put it into 2 slightly smaller loaf pans for 24 servings - 1/9/08

I checked it at 30 minutes and it was already a little burnt. It's also dry. It will probably taste better with marg. or butter which is going to make it unhealthy. Next time I'll cook it for less time and add some cinnamon for a little more flavor. - 12/2/07

I made this exactly as written with no additions or subtractions. It didn't do much to satisfy my sweet craving. It needed more sugar and/or honey. It also needed more banana to counteract the drying effect of using all whole wheat flour. - 4/4/13

This recipe is fantastic. My wife didn't have a bread pan so she put the batter into a 12-muffin muffin pan. It is convenient that the recipe makes 12 servings. However it makes it too easy to just grab another. They are so good they are hard to resist. Thanks for the recipe! - 10/21/12

I made this today (muffins because I don't have a loaf pan at the moment) and it came out alright. I should have read the other comments first and would have added vanilla and cinnamon. It lacks flavor otherwise. Will make again with revised recipe! - 10/19/12

Pretty good. I don't have a sifter, so that's probably why mine didn't turn out as light as the others. I'll definitely have to get one of those. It was done after 45-50 min. I used applesauce instead of butter, but next time I'll probably use extra banana instead. Good with pecans. - 10/7/10

I loved it. I, too, doctored up the basic recipe. I had 5 large very ripe bananas and used them all. I used 1 tsp cinnamon, 'the pink sugar substitute' and about 1/4 cup choc chips, baked in muffin pan; made 12 nice sized muffins which were wonderful. The whole wheat flour added a nice crunch - 7/23/10

If you actually use I can't believe it's not butter spray you could even save some more calories and such. For this spray is liquid, tastes great and has no fat or calories in it. I can't use butter or margarine anymore. :-)
