Subbing applesauce for oil makes this bread so incredibly moist. Added some chopped pecans and cinnamon per other reviews. I ate the entire loaf in 48 hrs.

This banana bread is fantastic! I add a little bit more applesauce to make it even more moist and I also add chocolate chips. I have had TONS of people ask me for the recipe and a loaf never stays longer than a day in our house. I even made mini loaves for our out of town guests at our wedding and received rave reviews! It can even be made vegan using no eggs (add more applesauce) and vegan dark chocolate. Great recipe!

If I want to make muffins instead of a loaf of bread, what temperature should I bake them at? If the same temperature as the bread, how long should I bake them for? Oh, and the bread was delicious.

I think next time I make this I will add a little more on the spice side but this was actually really good considering how healthy it is for banana bread. The kids still asked for seconds so I consider it a hit!

This banana bread is absolutely wonderful. It is so yummy and moist you would never even know it has no oil or butter in it. I used whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose to make it even more healthy and it was great.

This recipe makes DELICIOUS, moist banana bread. My family devoured the first loaf in less than 15 minutes. I definitely recommend adding a bit of brown sugar to the top of the loaf.

Yum! This is an awesome low fat recipe! I took some other reviewer's advice and added 1 tsp. almond extract and 1 tsp. vanilla. The crust was a bit "rubbery," but I actually enjoyed the texture. Will definitely make this again. Thanks!

I made some changes, so my rating is based on how mine turned out ;-) I substituted some of the AP flour for spelt flour (1/2 cup), put in a heaping cup of bananas (wish I had put in more, maybe 2 cups), used a half cup of applesauce, one whole egg, added a tsp of cinnamon and a tsp of vanilla, a 1/4 tsp of almond extract and a pinch of salt. I also put in 1/4 cup brown sugar and the rest turbinado sugar. I made 12 muffins and sprinkled some of the turbinado sugar on the top. I may have overbaked, they cooked faster than I thought (probably about 18 min at 350). The texture was nice, I think my spelt may have made it a little heavier than just AP flour would be. They were on the sweet side but do seem to be missing something. I dont usually put cinnamon in my banana bread, so I might leave that out next time and just try doubling the banana? For having no oil or butter, I thought they turned out great. I'm trying to find healthier breads/muffins for my boys to eat as snacks. I bet they taste better the next day, or I usually like to freeze my quick breads, they seem to get extra moist after being frozen. I will try them again and maybe keep with just AP flour and maybe try adding a little wheat germ.

This was SO tastey! I did follow some of the reviews though, and added 1/2 tsp salt, upped the cin. to 1tsp and used 3 (very) ripe bananas, and subbed 1 whole egg for the egg white. My picky family ate it up so quickly, and definetly could't tell it was low-fat! Thanks!

This was amazing! I followed the recipe almost exactly, and it tastes wonderful. The only small changes I made were to dust the pan with sugar, add an extra 1/4 tsp of cinnamon, and a dash of vanilla. I couldn't believe that it had so much less fat but tasted so good. I don't think I'll make regular banana bread again.

I have always wanted use applesauce and bananas in a recipe (they are SO much healthier) instead of oil; but I have been a little hesitant to try. When I made this recipe, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the batter was consistent and did not contain excess flour or other ingredients. And before I go on, these suckers rise very fast, so don’t be disappointed if your muffin tin is not completely full to the top, for within 20 minutes of baking, they are all ready there. They smell so good in the oven; it makes you want to gobble them up before they are even done cooking. These muffins were really good EXCEPT THERE WAS ONE BIG PROBLEM: THE MUFFIN DID NOT COOK ALL OF THE WAY OR SOMETHING BECAUSE WHEN I WENT TO TAKE THE MUFFIN WRAPPER OFF, THE MUFFIN LITERALLY STUCK TO IT, IT WAS LIKE THE ONLY THING YOU COULD EAT WAS THE TOP (unless you wanted to eat the wrapper!)This is how I modified the recipe. Based on other reviews I used only what is listed below: ¾ cup all purpose flour ¼ cup Splenda 1 egg (whole) 2 bananas (medium sized) 1 4oz cup of unsweetened applesauce ½ tsp of both almond and vanilla extract ½ tsp of baking powder and baking soda Cinnamon Nutmeg I followed the original recipe and mixed the flour, sugar, baking powder and soda, cinnamon, nutmeg (dash or two of each), and almond and vanilla extract. I then added the bananas, applesauce, and finally the egg. The applesauce work

Yes, my crust was rubbery! But the inside was nice and moist. I didn't have baking soda (prob. why it didn't turn out). I used sweet n low for the sugar. I will try this again the right way!

Very good and moist bread. I did make a couple small adjustments. I used egg beaters instead of the egg. I did not have enough banana so I increased the applesauce to compensate. I forgot to add nuts which I will be sure to remember next time.

SO good for fat free! I actually used about 4 medium sized bananas, so they were extra banana-y flavored, and were very moist and dense. I also added about a tbsp cinnamon and about 2 tsp vanilla extract. I made these into 12 muffins so they were easy to transport and portion controlled. Thanks for a great recipe!

Based upon other reviewers I did change this recipe just a bit. FOr some added fiber I used 3/4 cup whole wheat flour and 3/4 cup white flour. I also added a a little salt and extra cinnamon since I was out of nutmeg. I also used 3 bananas. I kept the egg whites. This bread was wonderful and I made them into muffins to make sure I had 12 servings. Absolutely wonderful!!!

I love this recipe and have made it several times. Mine was rubbery the first time as well, but I attribute that to overmixing and over-baking. It continues to cook when taken out, so it's fine if it's still a bit mushy in spots when you take it out. It's a great way to satisfy a sweet tooth in a healthy way and is still really good with less sugar. Thanks so much for sharing it!
