  I added 1 cap vanilla extract, 1 tsp. cinnamon, 1/4 tsp. nutmeg, used brown sugar, used 1/4 cup applesauce instead of oil. Bread was great warm, and can't wait to try tomorrow morning toasted for breakfast. Thank you for posting this recipe! - 12/3/08

  I used whole wheat flour and subbed unsweetened applesauce for the oil in this recipe. it cut out about 40 calories and all the fat and made for a nice sweet bread. it's not as flavorful as traditional banana breads but the recommendation to serve with applesauce and cinnamon makes up for it. - 6/25/07

  I would use a sugar substitute and apple sauce instead of oil. Other wise this is a good banana bread. - 11/25/08

  Banana bread with three ripe bananas can easily take less sugar. 1/2 a cup is my recipe and I use Canola oil for all of my baking. My recipe calls for 1/4 cup oil. other than that its the same, grandkids make it and eat it for breakfast with frozen blueberries.Beat ripe nanas to liquid More flavor. - 5/10/10

  I am eating this right now, fresh from the oven. I like it. I will do it again, a little differently, but I like it. I didn't use the whole 2 cups of flour, it made less, plus I made muffins instead of bread. But, definitely worth it. THANKS! - 11/25/08

  I would recommend adding some spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. Premixed "pumpkin" spice would be good. Also if you use real sugar try brown sugar. It realy changes the taste and colour. - 7/10/08

  @SharonFrances: If you add egg whites then it's no longer vegan which is the whole point of this recipe. There are plenty of non-vegan banana bread recipes out there. - 5/10/10

  Actually, for the record CHP4GOLF - vegan refers to no animal products, and most bread products have either dariy, or eggs in them...so being a vegetarian working towards Vegan, I appreciate the distinction. - 4/18/08

  I made it with 1C of AP flour and 1/2C of wheat flour and had to add a splash of soymilk at the end because it was so thick. I added some cinnamon sugar on top since I forgot to mix Cinnamon in earlier. It was easy and good but way too sweet and somewhat deflated. I'm going to try to get it right... - 12/11/08

  This is the first vegan baked product I've ever made and both be and my boyfriend really enjoyed it. The texture was really dense, but I like that in a bread so it was perfect for me. Adding applesauce and cinnamon on top was also a really tasty recommendation. Thanks for sharing :) - 7/30/11

  For those who made some naive comments about what's with the "vegan" in the title: "vegan" means no animal products. Most banana bread recipes include eggs, maybe butter, too - both are animal products, hence, not vegan. This recipe has only plant-based ingredients, thus vegan. - 7/16/10
