I enjoyed this recipe a lot! I did make a lot of substitutions, in attempt to make it as healthy as possible - it still ended up being very tasty! Here are the changes I made: For the flour I substituted 1 cup whole wheat flour and 0.5 cup all purpose flour. I ended up using 4 (fairly large) bananas. For the sugar, I used 0.5 cup splenda and 0.25 cup (maybe a little less) brown sugar. For the butter, I used 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce. I also added 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg. I would have added vanilla extract, but I was out. This made 12 largish muffins. Once cool, I 'iced' each with some fat free vanilla yogurt, and sprinkled them with toasted walnuts and toasted shredded coconut.

I substantially changed the ingredients, in an effort to make this bread healthier. The result was excellent! My BF (who usually rates most recipes 'pretty good') said it was excellent and a definite 5 out of 5. Not bad for someone who hates vegetables! Here is what I did: 1/2 cup splenda 6 tablespoons brown sugar 3/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce 1 cup all purpose flour 1 cup whole wheat flour 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp baking soda 2 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp nutmeg 2 eggs 2 pinches salt 2 cups shredded carrots (big shreds) 1/4 chopped nuts 1/4 raisins 1tsp vanilla. I baked it in one loaf pan at 350 for 53 min. This version ended up being only 160 calories and 2.6 grams of fat per serving
